Default Supercharger Coating peeling?

while I was cleaning the rotors of the supercharger I noticed some sort of coating coming off the rotor.
Can see it a lot better in


Should I be concerned?

Im sending the supercharger to powerhouse in a month or 2 would they be able to fix this?

Make sure you time the camshafts correctly using the holding tools. Contrary to popular thinking, the camshafts are NOT set to TDC, but to 45 degrees ATDC.

Would I still be able to drive the car with the supercharger for the time being?

I believe I did everything correct for the timing. I turned the engine over a few times to verify there was no contact after everything was set.

Default Final Question Before I start it

When I removed the trans cooler line roughly a quarter of a quart (probably not even that) fell out.
I was wondering if this should be topped off or would I be fine to drive it until I’m able to do a full transmission flush.

Why not check the level with the Mercedes tool?

was unaware of such a tool. Haven’t looked in the transmission all too much.
Could you provide a part number for it ?
