One more thing to worry about..

I bought a case of ATF and asked local garage to flush it using their machine. brought along a picture from the WIC just in case they didn't recognize the place.
For other reason I was under the car yesterday and noticed the trans-cooler hose fitting seemed a bit prominent. It is a curved banjo bolt type of connector which should tuck in snugly around its mate. This was rotated about 30 deg ground-ward, making it more prominent and vulnerable to road debris. Loosening the bot 1/2 turn was easy and dry, allowing the fitting to be rotated back to the designed position.
This repositioning also created slack in the rubber hose. It was now possible to see the 1mm gouge in the taut hose worn by a metal edge of the frame. Perhaps a few weeks more could have caused a catastrophic spewing of the new ATF at 80 mph.
If some one else has changed your ATF, take a look underneath.
