After my initial trans service (fluid, filter, etc) my clunking went away and then I did another tranny service at about 60k and my fluid was still pinkish and didn't smell at all burnt like it did the first time around.

I think tranny service is something that is over looked by a lot of VX owners simply because it is kind of a pain in the butt to do. Also, I think a lot of shops opt to just drain and refill the fluid, and often times probably do not have the above procedure I posted and either over or under fill the tranny, which will also cause issues...
