This was the thread running at the same time, which had an example of a sudden failure after changing the fluid (I know, n=1, just like your example).

This next one was by far the most entertaining, though. It had everything. Yes, it was titled engine oil, but it was about transmission fluid, analysis, faith, and by the end, rainbows and cupcakes. It also included mention of the replaced valve body, albeit edited.

This one was good as well, it had a couple of BMW technicians participating.
