I flushed the transmission in my 940 for the second time today.

The car came to me a couple years ago with about 106K on it and produced a large quantity of brown nasty looking fluid when I flushed it then. My suspicion was that nobody had ever done that bit of maintenance.

Today, it produced a large quantity of brown nasy looking fluid when I flushed it at 130K. For good news, it did not smell burned. The transmission shifts fine and gives no indication of issues when driving the car.

My kid uses this car to get back and forth to school, which is five hours down the road. Am I looking at a potential problem here? My 240, has nice bright red fluid at every flush and is at 305K.

What do others see when flushing?
