Yep, I'm not disputing that they get in. I agree, there's lots of evidence for it.
My question is still, exactly how? With that Combined Drain Ball Check Valve in there, it seems unlikely it's by that route, and my feeling is that the plastic slides in the clutch packs probably start to break up the year they leave the showroom. I'm about the change the fluid on my '11 and expect there will be plenty of plastic coming out, as it's had clutch shudder for years, but so far (touch wood), no mechatronic issues... So, if it gets in via those valve drains, it should have happened by now. Hope I'm not jinxing it!
