Seized compressor sending metal debris through the system is a real concern and the shop recommending a full flush with receiver dryer and expansion valve replacement is actually the correct approach, not just upselling.

Slipping between 4th and 5th with no warning lights on a ZF 8 speed is rarely a full replacement situation. That symptom points to a valve body or pressure issue that a proper rebuild can fix for a fraction of 28k.
