There are torrington bearings inside the convertor between the stator and impeller...but any metal particles in the flush output should have meant a convertor cut and repair...as I said above...

Cant stand shops that work like that...

Maybe I am just gettin too old...

Guess I'm getting too old, myself. There is enough money to be made as a shop that they don't need to be stealing it from the customers. In California, the Bureau of Automotive Repair estimated that 1/2 of all repairs were unnecessary, in '84 (when I last worked as a mechanic). Not much will have changed, I'm sure.
