Today, I changed my automatic transmisson, power steering, brake, and coolant fluids. I wanted took a picture of my car's automatic transmission fluid because it had never been changed, and it is surpposedly a "lifetime fluid". I had previously gone to the dealership, but they insisted that it was not to be changed, and that if I wanted to change it, they'd sell me the fluid for $60 per litre! I went ahead and purchased the fluid online, and had my local mechanic replace it. So here is what the old fluid looked like(oh,and it smelled like burn't coke too):
Please replace your fluids! The transmission now is silky smooth! My steering, braking, and engine temps are also an equal WOW! I got all my fully synthetic OEM fluids from: www.rmeuropean.com

I think yours was changed at some time, chefro. The original was suposed to be amber colored.
I doubt it was done previously, as the filter was the original (had 1995 stamp on it). There's nothing about a tranny servicing in the maintenance records from the previous owner, who bought it brand new.
I have a stack of records, although some years are missing.
If it was done, then it was either done outside of a shop, or it was done without a filter change (less likely).

If its a ZF transmission, then the original lifeguard fluid should be light brown, or amber as the previous poster said.
