When I swapped out the engine side filter I swirled a little magnet down in the bowl and got some sparkly metal powder. I feel like I dodged a bullet!

ATF works great as a hydraulic fluid which is essentially what your power steering needs. I find that it’s a little thinner than a fine oil so it flows easier when cold and doesn’t make some pumps...

Shift rpms to high or tach reading high?

I have a ISB with a md3060. It shifts at 3200rpm on the tach, this seems high to me but maybe it’s normal? Could it be reading wrong? Or is this the correct shift rpm?

As to not starting does the engine spin when you turn the key or nothing?
