If you do chose to go that far I would insist (or better yet provide) an inline filter to the return line from the (intercooler) radiator to the transmission to catch that. Magnafine makes a nice little inline filter for this, has a bypass for if it gets clogged and has a nice Magnet in it.

Interesting. Well. I was probably exaggerating a bit about grenading. It certainly performs fine in most situations, I just have to be careful about how I throttle it when I am in these known-issue shifting situations. I generally avoid the low speed kickdowns by throttle management. I would hope I'd get slippage before it was about to die, and currently, I have none even at full-load.
