Just got through with a pan drop, fluid and filter change. Ran it through the gears, drove it a few miles or so, shifts beautifully and on time so far. So we will see how it goes.
I will post pics up of the old fluid and what not later on. Sadly, it was indeed getting a little dark, but it smelled decent. It was more of a purple than a brown, still had a red tint to it.
Oh, and the magnet had a small layer of metallic material, and the bottom of the pan looked pretty clean for the most part so I hope it will be okay from here on out.
