Transmission Issues Again

From: Western NY,
When I replaced the solenoid and sensor around 3 months ago, there were some metal shavings and whatnot in the pan and solenoid/sensor. New ATF, sensor, and solenoid and I cleaned out the pan and everything pretty good.
2 weeks ago, I dropped the pan and checked things out. The fluid was pretty clean, but the filter was slightly dirty, so I replaced it. New ATF again, and I dropped the governor body and inspected it. The solenoid was kinda dirty, and my dad cleaned it up a bit. Black crap oozed out of the solenoid, but it finally cleaned up, and everything was reinstalled.
It worked fine again until two days ago, so I'm pretty sure there are no more excessive shavings and whatnot since.

Touche lol. Well, mostly I just think it was a crappy solenoid, considering I bought it for $50 from a wholesale transmission parts website. Especially since it has only gotten progressively worse to the point that it threw a code. Perhaps it is just getting dirty though, but my pan and fluid was almost spotless when I checked 2 weeks ago.

Either the bands being to tight, or starting off in second all week caused a crap ton of metal shavings in my pan. My magnet had crap 1/4 of an inch all around and my filter is full of it too. Gonna get my dad to readjust the 1-2 band, and put a new filter.
Bought new Mopar solenoid and sensor, but they gave me a sensor from a 99+ -.-. Hopefully the sensor isn't messed up.
