What's the best solution? Replace or rebuild transmission?

Hey a friends 2005 TL seems to have some tranny issues, her car has 180k & I don't think the tranny fluid has ever been replaced.

No CEL is on just the triangle with ! & the VSA light comes on after few minutes of driving. She said the car starts slipping after 20 minutes of driving so I replaced the fluid & it seem to have made it worse, I was driving & it wouldn't go in to any gear.

The drain plug was filled with metal shaving so I assume that means the trans is gone?

Would it be wise to put in an accord trans or rebuild?

180k is a lot of wear and tear with no prior services. I'd call it a loss for sure.
