I herd people often have problems with rebuild transmissions, but I thought AAMCO would do better.
Sorry to hear the trouble you are having after spending $4500 to fix your car

It may be due to improper ATF fluid level. Also there is some learning by the transmission CPU so it may improve in a week. Good Luck.

Please, I beg of you, provide data that your transmissions are lasting longer than ones that have not had the fluid changed. We constantly have this discussion and no one and I mean no one has actually listed data from a non interested source that changing the transmission fluid on these cars prolongs the life of the unit. Both Lexus and Toyota say don't do it. Now you say Jaguar says no also. Are you telling me that you have data that disagrees with the manufacturer. If you do lets hear it. To make a statement that your transmission will outlast the factory recommendation really needs to be backed up by facts not anecdotal info.
Just so you understand, I am not saying you are wrong, just that I have yet to see data from either Lexus or Toyota (or anybody else) that the transmissions are failing in any way.

Hopefully the tranny learning factor smooths out the shifts for the OP over the coming week. Hard shifting can be from multiple issues relating to the fluid as previously stated, or a leak in the valve body, incorrectly reassembly etc etc. Stay on those AAMCO people Zulu and report back please

i drove over the weekend and I suddenly got a transmission fluid overheat warning!
Then it it turned into check engine light, traction control is off... and then weird shifting and weird noises from the transmission.
Now it won’t even go when I put it in drive.. it doesn’t roll.. almost like first gear is screwed!
calling AAMCO on Monday... let’s see what they say !!
hopefully they won’t give me any “attitude”. I regret not doing this at Lexus or Toyota !

Obviously AAMCO screwed up this job!
I hope they're not going to try and charge you additional money to fix this "other problem", they should own up to it.
Thanks for the update.
