I understand that, I found glitter shavings in the oil filter so that's why I took off the clutch cover to begin with. Just trying to get some help. Thought maybe a piece of the washer was the chunk of metal.That washer is supposed to be folded up around the nut to keep it from backing off while running. But it seems you do need to replace it now.
I haven't gotten that nut off yet. Buddy didn't show up with impact. I'll borrow a basket holder tomorrow. Once that's off is that where I should be looking? All the plates and everything that's came off before that pic looked just fine.
And no magnet wouldn't pick them up, I checked so it's aluminum.
Pretty much has to have come from inside there somewhere. After you get the basket off, inspect it the case,look for scoring, grinding, missing thrust washers, just a good close inspection. If you don't find anything like that, I guess it's possible that foreign materiel made it in there at some point. But I'm guessing it's a chunk of basket.
Yup yup and yup, just hope it's not the latter yup!Non magnetic equals basket pressure plate or case material.
