UPDATE:

Well, I replaced the Tranny Fluid. After draining the old fluid, upon inspection, it didn't really look that bad - a little darker than the new fluid, but no 'shavings'to speak of (There was some small Flakey, skin colored stuff ??? not metal though).
Put the new fluid in and took it for a drive - no change, problem did not go away.

Guess it's off to AAMCO again.
