That looks pretty brown. I'm betting it smells bad compared to the new fluid. You're doing the right thing, IMO, by performing a drain and fill.

 

Yea it smelled horrible im suprised tho i was expecting to find metal shavings but i guess my trannys in pretty good condition...114k miles with no fluid change. But i plan on doing another drain and fill in about 100 miles or am i good to go longer???

I would go more like 1,000 miles to let it blend in with the remaining old fluid.

 

I did mine after 2 more oil changes... Not worth the money.

Just wait until your next big interval of work.

 

Buy more than enough and if any leftover, save for next time.

 

Break the fill plug first

 

i drain and fill mine every 30k miles (after the initial 60k or 90k.. i forget).. worked out fine for me so far
