That being said. the oil addition helped 1000x .. Eugene Kendal Ford shall hear my wrath today.
Could not diagnose bad plugs
Could not diagnose a bad boost solinoid
Could not diagnose a bad wastegate diaphram
and now cant even READ a dipstick ... and VERY CLEARLY did not test drive it.
have not yet check it.. daughter is still awake 
.. been driving it .. verdict is still out under high tuned load. i have launched a few times in manual mode and not seen the issue. but it is all still inconclusive to me.
How much oil is everyone overfilling in their tranny? right now the metal slug\ball is just perfectly covered.. what is the 'safe' limited to fill to?

I’ll check it in the am and update.
As an aside, its not like i'm going out every day and hard running it from start and go 30 seconds later. I was only doing this for this issue to test the viscosity portion of the equation since fluid thickness with low fluid could explain hot = ok and cold =bad behavior.
I let the car warm up 4+ minutes every time i drive it in the morning using the remote start. Because as much as people hate that .. VW cars, my bosses AMG C63, and Audi's all have cold running power limits and i feel that if they do it .. so should i

My 2010 had stuttering issues on shifts which is well documented here... specifically with Unleashed and LMS... the car would go to shift under WOT and it would stutter before catching the gear.. sometimes it wouldnt catch gear until very late if I pushed through it. Topping off a pint over full helped a lot but it never fully solved the issue..never was able to figure it out..
Hammering it while turning almost always produced the issue.. think trying to swing the rear end around into a drift.. it just flat out wouldnt catch gear and it wasn't the advancetrac kicking in, it was a mechanical issue.
I hope you are able to solve it, it was a major PIA at the track.. some runs would go flawlessly and others I would have to back out halfway down the track.. it would do it most on the 1st to 2nd, but occasionally on other gears..
That 2010 had been beat to death...so I am SURE that played a factor.

DAMN I forgot... I was able to cure 90% of it by doing 3 x drain and fills with motorcraft LV trans fluid... Perhaps they didn't put the correct fluid in the car? I had a my trusted shop flush mine (I know.. never do that) and put an OEE in there that caused all kinds of problems...
