Fixing Tailshaft leak, take a look at my magnets

My T56 was leaking from the tailshaft housing. I have it open, it has 40K miles. Can you guys tell me if this amount of metal shavings is normal?

I have not used this transmission yet, I am using it for my swap, so I have not tested it yet.

metal shavings, yes it's clean.
blocker ring friction material dust, a bit more than most I see.

Thats just normal for the magnets to have some metal on them, if you pulled the pan on an
A4 the magnets would look the same. Run it.
