Joe,
Thanks a lot for the response, I greatly appreciate your consideration!
I flushed the transmission oil by removing the outlet tube from the "cooler outlet" and started the engine (jacked up) and put the shifter in D position and kept replenishing it with new oil. There was a pretty strong jet of fluid coming out of the "cooler outlet". I have also replaced the transmission oil filter. Please see the oil pan image with worn out metal deposit on magnets and some small chunks of metal in the pan.
If you still think that the cooler could be the culprit, I will go ahead and get it cleaned.
Very thankful for your response.
Regards,
Ashish.
