Strange sludge?

I haven't driven it much since the replacement, but I can't imagine it yielding anything but good results.
BTW - Has anyone else that has dropped the 4EAT pan noticed that huge donut-shaped magnet in there? Mine had some strange sludge on it (I'm assuming metal particles mixed with oil), and, quite strangely, the sludge gave the donut kind of a daisy-like shape. There were 6 segments to the gunk buildup, each equal in size. The center was pretty empty. The good news is that I only found one very very small metal shaving.
All of the tubing inside the pan also seemed to have this strange sludge on it. It's all gone after a thorough cleaning, I just found it interesting.

Yep, there should be one or two magnets in the pan - rectangular with a hole in the center ("donut"). I'd be a little concerned about the "strange sludge" - you shouldn't see anything on the tubing other than ATF. You might just want to do another change of the ATF soon - dropping the pan again to drain as much out as possible.
