I'd say you just need some maintenance, a shift kit, and depending on the conditions maybe something did fail. If it only happens on a long drive the maintenance may be all thats needed. I was in the same situation a few months ago minus the fluid color issue and I fixed it on my own.

The first time I cleaned the dipstick it was grey the times after it was brownish red sorry about the towel doesn't really have a smell only when im driving in the city it acts up stop and go traffic and today it was snowing which probably is even harder on the trans considering my tcs isnt working due to a speed sensor maybe a shift kit and a drop n fill

Brownish red is just an indication that it's original at 104k miles. Not a big deal, I don't normally see the issue with the 04+ 4t65e's but I know it's possible. Do what redcompg and I said, it will most likely fix it.
