Did you flush your trans cooler out?

Now you're scaring me. I was told by two guys not to worry about stuff from the failure circulating through the system because it would drop in the pan and be stopped by the filter.
No, I didn't.

I changed the cooler lines from the trans to the cooler and radiator if that buys me any forgiveness from the transmission gods.

Should I throw a new cooler on at this point?

Oh, I forgot about the one in the radiator.

In the event you need to use your warranty if the dealer asks tell them it was flushed, otherwise your warranty will be voided.

The more that I drive, getting back into the swing of things, I am remembering that the old trans banged the 2-3 shift any time, part throttle or WOT. The rest of the part throttle time it was tamer. The big difference in the shifting is that at WOT, the new one engages the next gear slowly, maybe like a 1986 Caprice Classic felt. I will avoid full throttle shifts for now.

Who is remotely controlling my transmission? It seems like the shifts are improving. Maybe I am just driving more like a soccer mom (more aggressive than my normal self) now. I have a lot of torque reduction in the tune which I think makes the biggest difference at WOT. I might try reducing the shift time, i won't reduce the torque reduction.

I thought it would extend the life of the trans.The gold panning one had +- 70,000 supercharged miles, 140,000 total. I don't know how long a stock trans with forced induction should last.
