The tranny is fine. Very beefy unit.
I’m of the school of thought the design flaw they are referencing is actually a combination of clutching in the converter combined with the slip tables associated with AFM. The fluid just masks it. It’s been a long on-going problem with AFM. It just traditionally reared it’s ugly head past warranty. I had a V8 GTP that had a bad converter & I knew it was from the AFM.
