Trans failure question...

Got the trans out of the car. When I drained it and removed the pan, there is a good quantity of aluminum shrapnel in the pan.No large pieces, I don't know if it has an aluminum direct clutch hub, but it's getting a steel one this time around if it needs one. The input shaft doesn't seem to want to come out, but if the splines in the hub failed, that would account for the aluminum debris. The front pump drive lugs were all still there so further disassembly is next. At least now with the new flex plate rule coming in, this would be a good time to change that out as well.
