A small amount of shavings is normal. That is why there is a magnet inside the pan to collect the shavings. A large amount or large pieces of metal is not normal and will require a professional to diagnosis. It it has run good and has not had shifting problems, or strange noises, then it is most likely fine. I just rebuilt my son's 4T60E transmission for that very problem. I found two sources of the metal shavings: The teeth on the reverse reaction drum (stove pipe) and the spyders for the differential in the final drive carrier were in the process of shelling out.

The 1963 and earlier Tempests used a transaxle similar to the one used in the Chevy Corvair. The transmission and left and right rear axles are a single subassembly. What is unusual is that the Tempest's engine was in the front of the car and the transmission was in the rear. It was more common for rear engine cars, such as the VW Beetle, Porsche, and Corvair to use a transaxle.
It is called a HUD ( Head Up Display ) In the 96 Pontiac I think it only showed speed.
The 2000 Pontiac Montana does not have a vacuum modulator installed on it. Instead, it has an electronically controlled transaxle.
2001 Montana has an electronic transaxle. There is no vacuum modulator. The 2001 Montana has an electronically controlled transaxle. There is no vacuum modulator.
The early 60's Pontiac Tempest transmission was connected directly to the rear differential. They only did that for a year or two, guess it didn't work out well.What you're talking about is called a transaxle. They do exist, primarily in vehicles where the engine and live axle are at the same end of the vehicle).
