I recently installed a new manual transaxle in my fwd car. I used Redline 75-90ns. After 2000 miles I dropped the fluid out and installed fresh just bc I've heard this is a recommended process after installing a new unit. I've had some loud whining noise from the transmission, could be normal, might not. Its got shorter gearing and the preload might be tighter on the output shaft, or it could be too loose which is my concern. But sound aside I took pics of the fluid I took out, just looking for opinions on if it looks normal, almost looks like it has metal particles but I'm not sure. The magnetic drain plug had no fragments on it, just a very tiny amount of metallic dust.
First Pic is it just poured out after parking it from driving, second is after I stirred it. Does it look normal or not...? Thanks all.
