I recently did a pan drop and filter change on my moms Impala and obviously cleaned the pan and magnet; at that time, I because aware of the TSB GM has about replacing the stock magnet with an improved one and adding another to the bottom of the filter. I had already buttoned the trans back up before I could get the new magnets.
I'd like to add a rare Earth magnet to the outside of the pan just to see if it helps keep metal off the solenoids, which is the entire point of the TSB.
For anyone experienced with these GM FWD transaxles, where would the safest spot be on the outside of the pan to put a magnet, or even 2??? I don't want to put it close to where the OEM one is and mess it up. I certainly don't want to get a magnet close to any electronics in the trans and fry them.
Thanks! Has anyone done this to a GM or any other type of car???
