on average about 3500 miles. Longest I have ever been was only about 5000 miles. All synthetic.

It worrries that much shavings in a short amount of time. As compared to usually no shavings at all.

Also, when taking the old engine out, is there anything special that must be done when disconnecting the trans from the engine? any kind of special alignment? I was reading through my haynes manual and it was saying something about scribing alignment marks on the driveplate and the torque converter to ensure that they are in balance when re assembling.
