If the problem continues, only Ford IDS is able to update the TCM etc if required.

Did you mean TCM? Takes a while to learn to navigate Forscan, I suppose you are using the laptop version?
There's a list of PIDs for each electronic control module. Under TCM should be trans temperature etc etc.

Just found this which is a better account of the fluid level check procedure:

The bit about measuring the escaping fluid is what I missed. I'll update my DIY sometime. This omission is unlikely to be a problem if the specified 5.5 litres of fresh fluid is used. I've always been slightly puzzled doing the level check, measuring the escaping fluid is the key to knowing exactly when to stop adding fluid. You can't add too much, so that's not an issue.
It can't be a fluid level problem, because if I manually select 2nd gear there is no shuddering regardless of the pitch of the road (incline or decline)
