I get the logic of using that large transmission housing to also be a reservoir for hydraulic oil - it's already there, saves space, acts as a heat sink, etc. What I've wondered about though is the purity of the transmission oil. We are all fanatical about the cleanliness of hydraulic oil. I seem to remember that the oil in car transmissions contained metal shavings from the gears and syncros gnashing. Apparently we just trust the hydraulic filter to take care of any metal shavings? It must not be a big deal, because it is a common design feature. Thoughts?
