THE SUMP SCREEN WAS REMOVED AND NO METAL FOUND.  THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED WITH (3) QUARTS OF OIL AND SUMP SCREEN REINSTALLED.  SERVICED TRANSMISSION.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS GROUND RUN FOR 45 MINUTES AT A HIGHER TORQUE SETTING (LIGHT ON SKIDS).  CHECK OF CHIP DETECTOR AND DEBRIS MONITOR FOLLOWING GROUND RUN FOUND NO CHIPS OR FLAKES OF METAL.
