gerry , i always used the same gear oil, been synthetic since i purchased the boat. there were some shavings on the magnet nut that hold the fluid in . and the glitter is metal but very small particles of metal that just isnt big enough to stick to the magnet i swirled through the fluid ...im thinking being i pulled the guts out and put back in the fine adjustment have been knocked out and now its just adjusted slightly off from before ..which is prob creating extra shavings ...like i stated previously i pulled the gears out in order to do the bearings ...
