I think most of the debris he’s talking about is coming from the clutch pack.
You’re a motorcycle guy, ever get into the clutch of your motorcycle? An automatic transmission has a clutch assembly that looks identical to the wet clutch assembly you’ll find in a motorcycle, same type of basket, drive and driven clutch plates.
From there my automatic transmission knowledge gets sketchy. I’ve been into enough standard transmissions I understand how they work but automatics are black magic to me.
