Good morning,

Got metal and filings where?

Did it come out of the old filter?

Okay, that is not a good sign at all. That tells me there is damage inside the transmission.

Do you have any issues with the transmission?

It sounds like it is going to need to be rebuilt. The metal and brass are clutch material.

It may help with a new filter but the end is near for the transmission.
