Flush or rebuild
Trans has been shifting fine till the past two weeks and I started to feel a slight slip under light throttle. It has a shift kit and I have a diablo tuner so the line pressure is bumped up a tad. Less than 75k miles on the rebuild Noticed yesterday it had a noticeable delay going into reverse so i decided to drop the pan. I planned on just flushing it, new filter and putting dex 3 back in. Do yall think the amount of material in the pan calls for a rebuild?

If you think thats bad break open the filter and look at whats in there.
I've seen total 3-4 clutch loss and the pan looked like that, all the crap was in the filter.
If it slips it needs a rebuild.

If it has slipped may be a bit late for just a filter change depending on how many times its been allowed to slip. However I would put a new filter in I would not do a flush but would clean out the pan of course and go with it planning down the road for a new trans or rebuild , This may be sooner or much later no way to say for sure, I have however seen a filter change on a unit like that go for another 50k miles ,
hope for the best plan for the worst.
BTW changing the trans filter about every 30k miles is a good idea .
