I was thinking about switching to Amsoil ATF when the time comes...don't think it's much more than OEM stuff.
Now, I haven't felt the clunk again, but shifts are still funky from time to time. Just yesterday, when accelerating w/part throttle in the city, it hit a point when it should have shifted and didn't...the RPM's just kept slowly climbing as if they knew it should be shifting but it wasn't. Unfortunately, the only way I can replicate this behavior on demand (sometimes) is if I accelerate hard from a stop, then let off a little and hold the throttle. IMO, they may consider this "oddly aggressive" and attribute that style to why it's not shifting correctly. Even still, I'm sure I couldn't do it when I needed to show them.

I beleive if they scan the tcm they should find a code for the trans slipping. You wont see the light on the dash but they should ee it in the computer. That should be all they need to fix it with out an issue.

Oh but dont let that stop you from trying to get it to malfunction regularly since that will still back up your claim. So keep at it hehehe
Just keep the molten rubber off the wheel wells.
