Transmission fault.

I have recently rebuilt the transmission. Replaced all clutch pack plates, seals, oil pump, valve bank springs (regulator springs were broken) etc.
Once refitted and running the main pressure only stays up if the engine revs are held above 1000rpm (pressure at 135psi). If not the pressure drops to zero.
Took the engine out again and removed the oil pump for inspection. Found plastic swarf on one of the regulator valve seats that dumps oil from the pump back into the transmission housing.
Refitted pump, engine, etc. Started up and still got same problem!
When engine is held above 1000rpm gear selection and drive is perfect.
Anyone come across similar fault?

Fact of the week
The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
