Unfortunately it is unlikely that the flush of the fluid would fix this at this point.
What it sounds like happened is he found the codes that he did and that caused him to need to go into the TCM which is inside the pan. So he would have dropped it down and found the metal. This caused him to go further into it and found that the torque converter was faulty as well.
This issue did sound like a failed converter so you may get away with a converter, TCM, and a fluid flush but if he is there with the unit out of the vehicle it would be cheaper to rebuild it now.

I attached the info below that you can run through that explains the TCM. Please let us know if you have other questions on this. Thanks
