Re: Metal shavings in a manual trans

NP205:
This was recently rebuilt, and I changed the oil once after about 300-400 miles and then again after ~10k due to a deep water crossing. There are a small amount of metal filings stuck to the magnet; should i be concerned about this or does it look like the result of new bearings breaking in?
Again, everything spins smoothly and I dont see any broken hard parts. I think the input shaft on this unit looks fine, and I think the coupler also looks fine. Am I missing something?

Play between coupler and shaft. NP205 side first, SM465 side second.
