A couple of points. The particulate is unlikely to dislodge, there is nothing to make it dislodge. Power flushing it may do so, and occasionally, adding fresh high-detergent transmission fluid can cause it, but it isn't very common. And you can't blame ZF, it isn't unique to their transmission design. You could blame GM, since they invented the automatic transmision 70 years ago or so, and it is common to all automatics, but why bother?
