what me worry

Thanks for the heads up Pin_Head now I worry a bit.

I wouldn't worry about a few flakes of metal. Anytime the gears grind going from Lo to Hi and visa versa with the input spinning can make a few flakes. No big deal.

Yes the vc is a sealed unit in itself. Those metal bits probably from something else.

some shavings or flakes = no problem... chunks = problem...

Easy fix is pulling the VC and chunking it in the scrap pile.

You'll never miss is and eliminate any issues with an unnecessary component.

test the VC first, no use pulling it if isn't bad. Put one wheel up at a time and see if you can turn it.

All fine and good, but there's too much collateral damage possible if/when the VC does seize, for an unnecessary part that won't be missed, even by the most discriminating butt dyno'r.

It's a pointless part, evidenced by the inclusion to the NA destined and upper trim optioned 80s for the rest of the world, with about as much benefit as leather over cloth.
