Eaton, thank you so very much for your help! If heat didn't cause the clutches to burn, and no coolant in the A.T.F. or vise versa, then why is there burned clutch in the A.T.F. I drained?

The transmission now shifts odd when going in out out of first. Fluid level is good, and has mostly been (small leak which I need to address A.S.A.P.). Basically, doesn't perform as it did when I got her back in 2012.
