Is the shifts noticeably faster?

I'm gonna try to go to the dealership and see if flushing might help.
Tracking on a Level 10 upgraded AT is going to be worlds better than your stock AT that sounds like it's already on it's way out. Flushing the fluid probably needs to happen (have you done it before?) but it won't solve your problems.

If I were you, I would try to get a replacement transmission under warranty. Then I would either go easy on the track with the stock AT or ship it off to Level 10 for a nice upgrade that means you probably won't ever have to worry about the AT again (until you put a lot more power to it).

Good luck!
