Def. Sounds like a transmission. I would personally find a tranny from a wrecked sequoia that has low miles on it, and pick up the transmission, and pay another shop to do the replacement, It would save you ALOT of money. Just My $.02
It' probably the tranny. On a last ditch effort you can do this. There are other threads mentioning this technique. https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/210319-rodney-party-trick-auto-tranny.html
before you do anything, change the fluid and filter one more time and see what happens, it can't hurt. it could be a lot of things although the metal shavings ain't good, could be a torgue convertor or a plugged filter.
