Fluid was dirty but still was fairly red. Bottom of the pan had a thin layer of the blackish clutch material but what I would expect. Didn't get to test drive because it was getting late but just cycling between D and R it felt like it was engaging in reverse and would move backwards when you took your foot off the brake.

Changing the fluid in the pan really isn't effective. You can do your own flush with the help of a friend. I do the filter change, add 7-8 quarts, take the trans return line off the radiator "Usually the top line" and put a fitting in the radiator. Attach a hose to the fitting and drop it in a bucket. While your friend is moving the trans in different gears, keep adding fluid so it doesn't run dry. I usually run 15 quarts through and stop. I have done this to a lot of cars and it works great. It gets rid of all the old fluid.
