It was an easy job, with the longest part being the periods of time spent driving to mix the new fluid with the old. The first drain revealed no strawberry milk color atf, but a regular redish color. Slightly runny, but no evidence of being contaminated with water. I added 2.5 quarts of new fluid, test drove it, and noticed that the gear change improved; transition from 1st to 2nd occured around 4-4.5k rpm. I did this two more times, and now it drives like a charm. No more sluggish gear changes, and its smooth and quiet. Thank the good lord. I think I'll do one more drain and fill tomorrow morning, and then hopefully this will be taken care of  Oh, and here's a quick picture, its a funnel within a funnel; funnel inception.
