Get the fluid swapped and give it some time to work in. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

Oh, just as a little fun fact that some don't know: Pushing the traction control button just turns of traction control. When you're stopped and you've turned off traction control, push the brake and hold the traction control button for about 8 seconds. A message will appear that says "AdvanceTrac Disabled". You've now turned off traction control AND stability control. No you can get perfectly sideways without the computers telling you not to.

Pretty much the only one I frequent is www.AllFordMustangs.com/forums/

I'm pretty sure that's one of the largest and most comprehensive.

The tuner arrived today and it was locked to another vehicle. I'm working on a refund but you know how that goes on eBay.

I run Redline MTL in my transmission. Helped a ton. I've tried Amsoil MTG and Stock fluid. Didn't like the two but I also have a MGW shifter.

It smoothed out all the gears but it still is a little notchy. Unfortunately

MGW is probably the best shifter offered for your car btw.

So here's a small update. 10k miles with the tune and it pulls great. I added some spacers and a shifter bracket, the bracket fixed all my complaints about the shifter.

Also bought another one. 2014 v6 premium pony package, comfort, security, optional paint with 10k miles for 21 OTD.
