shifter cup contacting t56 housing (pic inside)
I had my t56 rebuilt a year ago, and have had the shifter off 5 or 6 times since to change fluid or swap shifters or whatnot. I would always find tiny little specs of metal particles under there, and today I finally figured out where they were coming from. when I'm in 1st and 2nd it looks like the bottom of the cup is scraping against the housing:
of course I discover this a week after my warranty on it ended, otherwise I'd make them go through it just because I could
would it be worth removing the cup and rounding the bottom edge of it off to stop more particles from getting scraped off? I've changed the fluid 3 or so times and never had any in the fluid, so I guess it maybe just sits up top there under the shifter but I don't like the thought of particles anywhere in my transmission

the picture doesn't really show it too clearly but they do extend further back and are deeper than they look, I figured since the scrapes looked fresh and the shavings were directly under it that was my source
I think I'll just keep changing the fluid regularly, it shifts perfectly so I can't see tearing the whole thing apart right now. it really is a minimal amount of shavings, could it be from just grinding a gear once in a while or something? I've only had it happen a handful of times before I did the Tick
