Default Clearing something up regarding the BTR auto

Am I right to assume, when my car has been driven around in for maybe half an hour to an hour and the auto starts banging through upshifts (like slipping then engaging hardcore) that its stuffed? Behaves properly when everything is cold-warmish

Or would a service fix it? Ok i know a service will help, but why spend 200 bucks on pro longing its life. Its not illegal to euthanise a transmission AFAIK

sounds like a leak down at high temp. Either solonoids leaking when hot or the valve body has cracks in it. Just a few thaughts.
