i cleaned most of it out with out opening the gearbox for now untill i open it up and see what i really need and what new up grades i can give her. i guess your right i was just wondering if anyone knew what it was it kinda freaked me out for a sec cause shes my 1st love i thought something was gonna grind down or go bad soon and i was gonna have to get new gears or somthing and drop $$$ that i dont have right now, but for her i would, from one guy who has a lover on the side to you all who do, thank you for helping and giving your input.

(i do think somthing was grinding badly because i did see some grease and it was what grease normally looks like and not shreds of stuff, so i think an upgrade is gonna be needed to happen soon, just need to open her up).

thanks again

Those look a lot like metal shavings. I would clear then out and see which of the gears is worn.

Something is either not meshing properly or something is catching a moving part and shaving metal off. I would not suggest using it until you find out what is causing the shavings to build up. I'm sure if you bring it out to a game someone would gladly take a look at it for you. ;)

ooooooohk this is what i found out today.. this past weekend i bought a new 120 spring so i decided to install it.. so i open the gear box and all this black shreds are paaacked in and all over the gears inside the piston every place thats open in the gearbox.. so im looking around at what all that was from was the stock plastic Spring Guide.. the end of the pring was scrapping off slices of the guid and then mixing with the grease in the gear box so now to just save up and get a new metal guide.. here are some pictures of what it looked like.. anything black or that grey color is the shreds (sorry bout the flash)
