Unhappy Trans going going gone

Well I think I I found my problem. In another post I wrote I thought I heard my turbo rubbing while it wasnt that. Well my transmission is done. Well driving it around after putting my turbo back toghter it started slipping bad then I lost O/D then 3rd gear. I got home and noticed Reverse was gone too. I drained the fluid could see little metal shavings then I droped tha pan and there was ALOT more. The fluild smelled like BURNING MONEY if you know what I mean. I never did see my tranny temp ever go over 190 ever most of the time it will stay around 160 to 180 while pulling a 10,000lbs trailer up and down passes, and I just had my tranny serviced about 5,000 miles ago. That all beeing said who make a good aftermarket tranny I know of ATS and BM any other good ones around? This week sure isnt starting to good.

$3900. 2 yr unlimited warranty and he fixes it after that for less than a song. Read others about BTS. That is what sold me.
