Yeah I spent months deciding whether or not to change it, with people on other forums talking about any trans on the original fluid at 100k should never change it, blah blah. The pan did have a layer of clutch material on it, it wasn't too noticeable because it was evenly spread. Also the old filter was the same shiny color as the new one, that was clutch materiel making it look like maybe a black plastic like the top half is. Overall I knew the risks but felt fairly confident with my situation. Oh and greetings from warren Michigan.
