Just what i though.. i think last person that had the car replace the oil pump but he use different pump from older model (94 to 96 the one without crankshaft position sensor and rewire ecu). Probably he put the magnet there to catch metal shaving, a lease that is my thought...

my mother owned a Dodge Caravan and it had round donut like magnets like that sitting in the transmission pan, I think someone has added that into the pan to collect metal particles, it likely came loose and broke up. It is not a factory part of any sorts.

previous owner was doing ghetto things to the car. Hence the round magnet.

Yup, I mean some transmissions have square magnets stuck to the pan but damn thats big magnet. I guess he wanted to catch any and all metal shavings but you can get the drain plug with a magnet though...

I bet that was a donut magnet typical of what you may find in an old tranny pan, but I'm willing to bet it made contact with the rotating assembly and broke all to hell.

Honda didn't put magnets in their oil pain, a half-*** incompetent person did.
