Damage in my old transmission: I had difficulties in the last half year. Sometimes it was not shifting accurately , but only sometimes. Then transmission seemed to slip a bit at a start. And in the end I had hard shifts but modulator was fine. I tested it. Then I found the steel chips and a piece of a spring. Chips could be a spring having been chopped up and eaten by the transmission. The chips mean I cannot use the converter any more? Or can the converter be opened and cleaned? Also the cooler could be compromised. I think I'll open also the valve body as a project and check for chips. Any suggestion?
