Some punctuation and spacing would benefit you a lot on getting an answer.

It sounds like it may be time for a tranny though, especially if you're finding that big of pieces of metal on the plug, and running it with no fluid.

That fluid had to go somewhere....

Yeesh...can't read that stuff, sorry.
I can read it just fine

I don't have an answer to your problem ...sorry
well i think i found the problem to my can am whine

lol I tried everything phoned dealer talked to machanicks all told me this wine was the normal can am thing well its not for any one who is experiencing these can am wines there low diff oils or tranny oils or a broken spring in the clutch cheack everything befor u continue its very expencive
I can read it fine too; you said your running it now with just high correct? So trans fluid is not leaking out? Is it possible when you did fluid change you forgot to refill tranny after draining it? Sounds like low is toast since that's what you were running with no fluid high was unaffected because it was never run without fluid; my concern would be that metal fragments are circulating in your trans and could be causing damage to parts that would otherwise be fine. If your plan is to just replace trans then I guess ride it till it grenades but if your thinking about a rebuild then I would try limit damage and stop riding it.
