This fluid look bad to you?

My trans has been shifting ****ty and hanging in gears for over 7K miles. Two different dealers have stated that the trans is performing as intended so I continue to drive the **** out of it and let it flair like crazy and screech between the the 3/4 shift. It makes an aweful metal on metal screech on the upshift and downshift when you're on the throttle hard. I think there may now be enough evidence for even the most incompetent dealer to see that something is wrong.

If you've been beating it with a 3-5 flair it's hurt. Who's tunes are you running?

The truck is totally stock.

By beating it I've been towing heavy, pushing it hard.

This is a 2013 6R140 btw.

Yeah I saw your username and assumed 6.0.

I'd just beat it till it breaks assuming it's under warranty.

That's the plan but this tranny is strong as hell! I may just request they tear into it and I'll pay for a fluid change if they see nothing wrong. Looking at what seems to be clutch material, I'll assume the bottom of the pan will have quite a bit in it. They can take it from there as this issue has been documented twice in the last 7K miles.
