Trans fluid analysis came back, copper slightly higher

when converting from dexron3 to transynd, i took a sample of old fluid and sent in for analysis. it came back as at below. copper appears slightly higher, anyone knows where does copper normally come from (clutches, thrusts, bushing or cooler)? thanks.

i noticed the viscosity at 100c being low, for it's dexroniii. transynd should have taken care of that...

I believe it usually comes from the cooler and probably isn't an issue.

Bushings contain copper and lead. More than likely its slight bushing wear due to low viscosity. Viscosity below 5.5 cSt at 100C is too low. Bushing wear is still low and will likely stop with Transynd.
