Tranny filter change

So I decided to change my tranny filter yesterday. Thought it would be a simple drain the fluid, take of the pan, take off the filter, put the new filter back on, put pan back on, fill with fluid. I ended up breaking thread on 3 bolts. Someone already had transmission work done to it and broke the other 2 threads. Wasted most of the day making new thread for bigger bolts. Also found so much crap in the tranny pan. Lots of metal particles not only on the magnet but just lose and pretty damn big. I am hoping that whoever did the tranny work just replaced what was broken and didn't clean the pan so all the crap been there for a while. It shifts nice and smooth though so I hope it stays that way.
