Specifically, in the drain pan of my Aisin automatic transmission... How the H3LL did this guy get in my tranny? I personally saw him go "gloop" right out of the drain hole, mixed in the old fluid. First time the tranny has ever been opened up since delivery from the factory, as far as I know.
Oh come on, how could that guy remain in one piece and have spent any time in the tranny? Not calling you a liar, but that does not seem possible.
RealOEM.com BMW R52 Cooper S GA6F21WA mounting parts/gaskets Transmission ventilation valve? Never heard of it, but it's there.
Yeah there has to be some sort of explanation. There is no way it would be intact having been there from day one.
He was completely desicated/preserved. No innards at all - just a "shell" of the bug he used to be (kinda like me - I can relate to the poor bastard). It's not like he would get ground up going through the transmission over and over like a BlendTec - the strainer/filter would keep him in permanent suspension in the pan, assuming he made it there in the first place.
It is both possible that he got in there during assembly and even likely that the little guy stayed in tacked.Some Petroleum products like raw or refined oil acts as a sorta preservative on biologic's. The sump in a Auto transmission does not have an oil pick up like in a crankcase oil sump of an engine. So things will tend to settle to the bottom and remain there.I have found numerous items in Auto transmissions over the years ranging from non applicative fasteners, buttons,pens and even a watch all from first time services. And no the watch was not a Timex. Now think about what gets in your processed food.lol
Off topic but of interest brought about by this thread..... Click here enjoy! How Many Insect Parts and Rodent Hairs are Allowed in Your Food? Bon appetit :lol:
I rather live in ignorance on this one, I work in the HVACR field and have seen many dirty restaurant kitchens sometimes it's places I like, once I know the truth I can't bring myself to go back.
Jabbles, you are so correct. I make custom stainless steel chef lines for local resturant's. Many times I won't take my wife to a certain resturant that she asks about because I've been in the kitchen. I have seen some really nasty things. She has gotten to the point of not asking why.
I am also in the food industry - I run a frozen dough manufacturing plant. We pride ourselves on the cleanliness of our plant and if anyone wants to see them I can put up a couple of short vids taken in our operation. We get inspected every year by AIB, and have gotten a superior rating every year, but it takes reall dedication and effort to do that. Most place won't spend the money and time it takes to keep your place that clean and organized....
That's a British protein stop-leak seal. There's one in every trans. I strongly recommend returning it to the trans immediately!

Yep... Several years ago, I worked on a contract negotiation team that bought flour, oil and sugar for a very well known cookie/cracker company (it was fun getting to help spend billions of dollars). The first time you read the specifications on what gets into a pound of flour, your head (and your stomach) will spin. I wonder if MINI has a similar spec? Have you identifed the species? Is it indigenous to the UK?
Everything is acceptable... it's just a matter of how many parts per million you're willing to injest. People swim in the ocean every day and end up drinking and inhaling some in the process. And it's the cesspool for the whole planet.
