The magnet at the bottom of the pan was broke in half! It has 0 miles on it since the last time I dropped the pan and the magnet was fine then. Luckily I had another one out of a 904 laying around. But what would cause it to just suddenly break in half like that?

that is really weird. Not sure why it would have broke like that.

it could of been cracked before and you didnt notice it and the cold or the heat could of caused it to finish breaking or you got trills

I don't know what it was or why it happened. I'm just glad that I had another one laying around.

Stupid question time, brought to you by the Liebenator - Why and what magnet?

I think he is talking about the one that is on the plug. It's there to pick up small pieces of metal . I have one on my tranny pan and my oil pan.

Yea it is the one that is on the bottom of the pan.

The stock one just sets on the bottom of the pan, around the dimple in the pan. I don't see any problems even if it was broken and you used it, but that is weird that it did break and hasn't been used.

By any chance were there some new crop circles in your area recently?

No kidding but magnets will break down when they are submerged in any liquid for long periods of time but hell it was fresh and never run is what makes me see it as being super weird .

Ah, no not that I noticed lol

Well magnets are very breakable it just might have had a defect from the manufacturer or a little chip on it and it just broke from vibrations or stress from heat or somthing.
