The "dirt" is clutch pack material, pretty normal.
A UOA on ATF is pretty meaningless, as there really is no much oil breakdown due to no exhaust blow-by infecting the oil.No pistons scraping cylinder walls, causing metal shavings. The fluid pretty much is used for fluid pressure, and to keep bands, and clutch packs lubed, that's why it can go 100K miles.

The oil catch filter does work, less than 1k miles at the time of the pic.
ATF looks clean also, if now the transmission last 50k more miles it wont be wasted time and effort. |

This may have been previously stated, but I didn't see anywhere in my manual for my 2008 Hatch base model on how to check the transmission fluid level, or anything like that. Would that imply is doesn't need changing according to Toyota?
I guess I would need to look at the required maintenance services intervals and see if it indicates a change is required. |

In my distant past I worked in a transmission shop. Changing the fluid and filter were routine maintenance, and most people waited too long. Need/frequency depends on several factors; I can tell by the color and smell of the fluid when it's time for mine.
I just changed my 2007 hatchback's at 54,200 miles, and it was definitely time. Required about 3.5 quarts of Toyota ATF WS. I used a Fram FT1220 filter kit that was less than $14 from RockAuto.com, plus shipping. Looked just like the original. As mentioned, the filter _does_ have filter-media, and is not just a screen. I like the provided drain plug in the pan. That will encourage me to replace a few quarts every year or two, but I likely won't change the filter again for many years. |
