that goes not look good.....it actually looks like the lining of our door on the inside..that yellowish stuff...to be honest, unless your car has what acura calls "the tranny symptoms" unfortunately they will not be able to do anything....

1- i would def get an oil plug that has the magnetic end on it, that will catch metal shavings...
2- i would get a quality oil filter, because those pieces, could have came from your oil filter depending if you bought just a joe shmo brand.. honda and mobil 1 make a high quality oil filter....any honda/acura oil filter will work...their probably like $5 at the dealer and they give you a new washer...or you can buy bulk and get them on line for $3
3-i would def drain your oil again in like 1000 miles, to see if your getting more or less of those metal shavings....if you have alot more than collect them and save, them
4- you can let acura know...i know i said ^^^^^^ that they wont do anything, which they wont, but maybe they can put it on record???

Honda's filters are made by fram which makes shit filters...
So dont get a Honda filter is the general consensus here on AZ
there is also somewhere that sells a strong magnet that you stick onto your oil filter to catch metal shavings. I think that any strong magnet thats about 1" in diameter will suffice...

do about 2 more oil changes, once every week. dont push on the motor in the mean while
also get that magnetic drain plug.
it has nothing to do w/ ur tranny.
if it gets worse, remove the oil pan and see how much more is in there and visually inspect the block from bottom.
also remove the vavle covers and look into those too.

do you have that oil still? it can be sent out for analysis and you can get very exact and acurate results as to what that particulate is.
to me it looks like the filter is disentegrated.

what happens is after awhile, if the oil doesn't get changed, then additives inside the oil will breakdown thus not lubricating like it should be, causing your gears to grind, literally.
i work at a quick lube, and tamper seal comes in different colors, mines yellow like the one in your picture, the yellow things nothing, don't freak out.

Like 99% sure its not the oil pan sealant. You'd know if it was. Oil would be spilling everywhere. As for the magnetic drain plug, thumbs up. Alluminum and brass? You meAn the oil pan. They were talking about magnetic drain plugs, not literally slap a magnet on the pan.
