I cleaned off the transmission and dropped the pan. I was expecting much worse but there is actually not much material on the magnets and there isn't a ton of glitter in the pan. This was with about 12,000 miles on the new build.
I was concerned as I had a rattle-type noise when free-reving in neutral. My old billet converter used to do this so I wonder if it is just the converter.
I had the stock restalled converter cut open to check it and everything looks great. He showed me how loose he sets it up and you can rattle the stator around quite a bit so that may have been where the noise was coming from.
I am going to install the Alto Red 5-disc front clutch and put some BW high static frictions in the OD clutch and button it back up based on what I saw in the pan. I will probably pull the input shaft and take a look at the kickdown band. I may tear the pump down as well.
