Well when its new its a light brown/yellowish color. But after time in the tranny and some heavy driving it will turn to a dark brown almost black color.

Well ya if you use royal purple lol. Also I gave you the look of what manual tranny fluid looks like. If you have an automatice its going to be a light cherry red when new and changes to a dark red after use.

you dont flush manual trannys you just change the fluid, if its an auto then a light pink fluid means you got coolant getting into it(witch cant relly happen on a dsm) brown means its burnt and the clutches are prolly bad, grey is metal particles=bad.

No!

Light pink to cherry red is what auto trans fluid looks when new. A sign of coolant in the trans oil would look like strawberry milk. And brown doesnt always mean burnt, could just be worn/old fluid. But burnt trans fluid does have a distinctive smell to it. When I was going to school to be a mechanic many of years ago we where always taught to never judge condition of tranny fluid by the looks of it unless it was a strawberry milk look thats obvisous. We where always taught to go by smell.

I will agree with a dark grey to black color that means something inside the trans was coming apart.

yea i should have said a darker red is normal to more clarify what a real light pink might mean, also the brown color i belive is caused by the clutch material so ur right it could just be real old fluid and not worn down clutches.
i went to p-tech so i may be considered retarded in the automotive industries

Good guy, good seller. Wouldn't second guess about buying anything being sold by him.
