This is what I found when the rain stopped and I finally got the chance to pull my transmission pan off. What do you guys think?

It's hard to tell from the pic but...
it looks like your fluid is a tad too dark and you have some material in there.

I believe your "nuetral" feeling is from a plugged filter, causing loss of pressure. It doesn't take much to clog these filters. You'll have to tear it down to find out what is burnt/broken.

My guess would be a clogged filter also but the way the oil looks I imagine you have some internal damage.
