No pic. Maybe now?

Idk.
Basically, it should look like paste. No big chunks that are noticeable really.

How often has it been maintained, otherwize looks normal for high milage. How is it shifting/working overall.

I have just over 100,000 on my '95 and dropped the trans pan the other week. Thats almost exactly how mine looked also.The previouse owner was a goosneck trlr hauler so I figured I should check the trans. I cleaned it all up good, flushed it out and hav'nt had and issues with it.

The only problems are sometimes it doesn't go into reverse. It will just sit there like its in neutral. If i rev it up it will jump into reverse for a second then it acts like its in neutral again. It only does this sometimes. Maybe only when the fluid is hot.
