A few weeks ago I was on I95 at night and hit a rock that must have fallen off of a truck or something. It was pretty large, it went dead center under my car. It hit the aluminum cover so it did no damage to the oil pan, but it crushed my transmission pan (steptronic). It didnt spring any leaks, but obviously I am concerned about the internals. I know that filter must be affected. The pan is disformed to the point where it is warped over some of the trans pan bolts. I am surprised it didnt get ripped off.
Question is, should i just leave it and not worry about it, or should I go ahead and replace the pan/filter/fluid.
Car has 120K and i did the fluid/filter at 92K for the first time.
I have already put about 1000 miles on the car since this happened.
