I’ve seen worse Franklin,much worse.
Looks ok without close up glasses on job.
The pleats are black from new and you often see the odd flake of metal in there

There seemed like there was quite a bit of black gritty material in the creases of the pleats to me. And pretty metallic looking. Yes probably harder to see in the pictures posted. They're shouldn't really be none unless one of the clutches is starting to go right?

Correct. That hard gritty stuff is burned clutch disc friction material.

Machine has still been working. 1st gear seems as if it's getting worse with the sporadic stops. Been using it in 2nd gear and working fine just pushing garbage off a slope with no real hard pushing. I think I might have to pull the transmission.

I think you're probably on the right track.

At least it’s pretty easy to pull tranny out even with a ripper
