Not to worry- that's not too much glitter. The other thing to watch for is any large chunks of brass or steel in the shavings. It's normal for there to be some syncro wear, but anything that looks like a small mass should be examined more closely. Whenever I change the tranny oil in my road race T2 Z, I look very carefully at the "glitter" to make sure no major damage is showing up.
