ASAP, trans fluid should be changed every 50k miles... Find a shop that can flush it and make sure they use DEX VI. Check it when they are done.

Mine looks almost black so I bet it has never been changed. I have done some research on the trans flushing and read that reverse flushing can sometimes cause problems so I will change the fluid and filter myself. I'll be sure to get the Dex VI. Do you use a gasket on the pan or sealant?
