called yank, they said to drain it over night and see how it looks. maybe even try an old shop vac. then pour some more fluid in and repeat. if its not too bad run it if it is bad then send it back. 175+shipping.

I had a local trans shop flush out my trailblazer stall for $20. There were metal shavings in it but they think they got it all out. I haven't installed it yet so I don't know for sure.

I found a local shop that would cut my yank 3000 open and clean it for $110, so just ask around.

Most of the local shops I called wanted to do the usual trans flush with the verter installed.

can you trust a shop to open and weld up another brand TC? i'm saying you buy one from a kown good company to make sure you get top quality then you give to random joe to cut open and weld close? maybe its not that big of a deal i dunno.
