The transmission repair lasted a month before the original, plus new, symptoms appeared. I've been on the emergency list for over 3 weeks now to get a loaner at the dealership that "fixed" it the first time. Yesterday they informed me they're swamped and I'm in position 50 on the emergency list. Just about everyone on the list is for transmission problems and it's "going to be a while". Since it supposedly already has the updated CDF parts, what parts should I be watching for them to replace this time (if I ever get it in there)?

Do you know if they replaced anything other than the CDF drum itself? The outer housing also has issues with the clutch disks wearing into the alum housing and sticking. The updated version is anodized (assuming hard ano) to prevent that wear.

Theres always possibilities of other issues like a leaking o-ring or seal internally, but those are the main two I see talked about.

It was seals, bolts, nuts and the drum. The only part over $20 was the drum.
