That's the problem with this "evidence". Someone posts they had a transmission failure shortly after changing the fluid and the immediate conclusion of the anti-change the fluid crusaders is the fluid change caused the problem when it could, and most likely was, the result of other factors (such as the wrong fluid being used...using your example).

Of course I acknowledged it. It come from having taken courses in failure analysis.
What is funny is your use of the phrase 'urban legend'. Apparently you know that fluid changes have never caused a transmission failure in an otherwise healthy transmission before. That is simply wrong, and IMO irresponsible.
I am not an anti transmission fluid change crusader. I just think that people that do change the transmission fluid should acknowledge the risks of doing so.
