Drianed fluid (red).
Removed pan, (no metal, only a bit of very fine black grit)
Replaced both filters, (very dirty).
Refilled with valvoline cvt fluid.

Well,
I pulled trans, disassembled it, inspected all the clutch plates.
Found nothing.
I even measured the thickness of the plates,and end play clearances.
All good.
Gona put back in. If anyone thinks of something, let me know.
Thanx.
