Trany plug with Hair

Do I need to worry about this??

I drained the oil in the trany and found this on the megnetic plug. No chuncks, just "hair". Just wondering if I need to dig deeper??

PO had SWEPCO in the trany. Installed 1st and 2nd syncros and new bearing. About 15,000 kms on work.

Thanks.

That is normal. There is always some wear that creates very fine shavings. They will look like that when collected by a magnet and wet with trans fluid. Clean the plug off well, so you can see what's new, the next time you get in there.
