Default ? on my Fluid

My trans been running fine, But I decided to change my fluid today & it look's metallic? It's been about 10k since I switch converter's but I didn't do it my self so not sure if the fluid looked liked this before. The color is like candy apple red/maroon you can see tiny sparkles.

So am I screwed? I plan on driving it until anyways.

Is this normal clutch wear?

Thanks

Thanks Bro, But I'll stick with my auto. It fun to watch you sweat in the other lane

I talked to Mike at Century Trans & he advised that it sound like Converter clutch wear. But if the pan was clean I should be ok for awhile.
We'll See

Bill, are you planning to drop the pan and take a look see?
How does the fluid smell?
If the fluid still has redness in color I would think you’re OK.
If you dive into it, you should do both Trans and converter.
If you need help, I will help you when I get home, but I would not worry about it to much, if the car is still running like it has always. Just keep an eye on it.
Who no's, it may be normal wear.

The fluid smelled fine, It just had a lot of black crap floating in it. The pan was clean, but the Magnet also had some black Shxx on it. The car is back together & drives fine no issues, I think im going to put a deep pan on soon to help cool it & make changing the oil easier. Droping the pan on rhino rams sucks!

Bob, that last tune has been feeling better the more I drive it, Also I added the SSRA & the top end feels stonger. Too bad the weather getting hotter
