I know it’s going to sound like i got this backwards, but it isn’t. The tranny fluid came out looking like very thin gearlube. A black color, with a gearlube smell. The diff fluid came out nice red, burnt tranny fluid smell.

I seen on [car-parts.com](http://car-parts.com) that the guys in smithton has a few of these trannys? Does anyone know for sure? I think they were listed as 300-400 bucks, does that sound right?
