By looking at the first pictures in the thread the pieces appear to be rollers and pinion gears that are chewed up. The pictures with the flat pieces I think are from the bearing in the OD planet. I cold be wrong but what do I know. As you said KY you will see it when it comes apart. Vince

Thrust bearing between the overdrive carrier assy and forward clutch assy failed. I probably got it mispositioned when installed the shift kit doing the pump mods.
At minimum going to need a new overdrive planetary set. The needle bearings got into the gears and chewed them up.
I'll need a forward clutch hub. Took some teeth out in it.
Ugly but maybe a testament to the 80e strength. The tranny was still functioning mostly. Really no obvious anything going on.
