Well the assessment is in. I ended up buying a replacement Driven Sprocket, 2nd, 3rd, and Input clutch assemblies from a low mileage donor trans. It's almost back together and I'm expecting to put it back in tomorrow night. I heard that when so much damage occurs in a trans like this, that’s it best to replace the oil cooler. My question is: Is that the separate radiator that sits in front of my coolant radiator? I planned on flushing this out anyway but I'd hate to damage all the work and expense by not addressing this now than later if replacing it is the way to go.

Thanks in advance...

Follow your cooler lines from the transaxle and you will see where they go. Most vehicles run them through the radiator. I would definitely recommend replacing the cooler if there was a lot of metal and material in the pan when you pulled it apart. HTH

Thanks Jeff. It is probably the best insurance I can buy at this point. So is that the "Radiator" or the tank section?

I think you might find it just as cheap or cheaperto replace the entire radiator compared to having the cooler replaced in you original radiator.
