Hy/Tran dipstick

[sptanski]

So there I was checking the oil on my 806 when I pulled the dipstick out from the floor the little metal condensation ring thingy fell down into the reservoir. It s about the size of a quarter is this going to cause me major headaches or should I pretend it didn t happen and just run it.

In my opinion the second option, it will just lay in the
bottom and bother nothing.

Just run it and dont worry. It will end up in the bottom.You can retrieve it if you ever replace the hydralic pump.

Run it till you change oil next time then if you are still worried about it with the filter out pull the hydraulic pump and you will probably find it one place or the other. If not then put in a magnetic plug and it will find it's way to the plug.

Nope ya ain't ah going to find it back there as it is NOW DOWN IN THE RANGE trans . And there is a WALL between the two. . Now is it going to just lay there , i ain't ah going to say . It might and then again it might get moved around and decide to get between a gear or two . . The only way to go FISHEN is by pulling the range cover off then tryen to get a magnet down there , this can be fun and still not find it as there is not a lot of wiggle room down there. BTDT during a not thinking STUPID moment and had to go fishing .

Nope ya can't remember the Wall between the rear end and the range trans . only a drain thru , yea shifter rollers shift springs in pieces will pass thru and end up in the Filter area. after the get sucked on thru i doubt that disc will pass thru .
