A long time ago a mechanic told me to not change old fluid or filter because it builds up a varnish of sorts that the transmission gets "used to", and if you change it you will ruin your transmission.

I believe him now.
That could be an issue. It might not be getting enough fluid with a dirty filter and it could have started the ball rolling.

At this point, it is simply a matter of time before it goes. Not IF but WHEN.

10 months? What did you expect from a trans that was already knocking?

Transmissions getting "used to" something or other? What? It is alive now? If I use my metric wrenches to do some standard stuff, will they also "get used" to standard?

If he tried to sell you ocean front property in AZ, you going along with it too?
