I recall shifting out of drive into reverse (don't ask) going about 50kph (35-ish mph)....
Despite the sounds the trans made to inform me that this feral attempt to kill it was not appreciated, the AW4 has never let me down....and in return, I promised to never try and test it's loyalty ever again.

Yes all true time for a new trans, torque converter from what you describe and if it were me I would replace the transmission cooler with a new B&M or something like it instead of trying to clean out a stock one. The lines usually have shavings in them also (I "don't" know about the AW4 but years of other trans going away is my experience).
