My first idea is that your "4 qt atf drain and replace" is bad practice.

The pan only holds about 2.5 quarts. So perhaps you've been overfilling the transmission by 1.5 quarts every time you do this. Considering that the transmission only holds about 8 quarts, you may be overfilling the transmission by almost 20%. This is a case where "more is NOT better".

You really should use the dipstick as your guide for how much to fill the transmission.
