You changed to an unapproved fluid,It's not unapproved DEX3 IS LISTED ON THE mobil1 site and are having transmission issues. You decide to change the fluid again, and now you are saying you wantI don't want to I asked a question about it's compatibility to use another unapproved fluid? Why would you do that?
There is a reason why fluid makers come out with universal fluids. It is cheaper for them. Less types to make and to keep in stock means more profit. Can't blame them for trying, and in a non-critical application any old fluid will do. But why keep hunting these types of products out?
Just wondering, did you read my posts above on universal fluids that don't get tested to the Dexron spec, but just claim that they are good enough to use anyway?

I did read all your posts and don't get that If a multi spec or Universal fluid says in their spec sheet that their fluid can be substituted for oe specs then what's the problem.
I come from a legal background. I would love to challenge a manufacturer in a consumer complaint, when the manufacturer is trying to get out of meeting a spec when it is plastered all over the spec sheet of their product. Their lawyers know that as well and you can be Darn sure that whatever is on the spec sheet is going to be used as evidence against the manufacturer... they just wouldn't say it if it weren't true.
Also, lots of oil companies don't certify the spec through the oem because they don't want to pay for the license. If they say it they are formulating to the spec.... they darn well better be!
Otherwise we would have been seeing consumer lawsuits about this by now.
