if the fluid was black when you removed the pan and just filled again, i bet that fluid is now as black as it was before.. it definatly needs a full flush...

flush it with the cheapest oil bud.
then use proper tq95 (multisyn??) or better trans fluid with the last 10L of flushing. theres no use wasting $$$$'s on oil if its just going to be for flushing. |

Bad idea. Use TQ95 to fill AND flush. BTr'S are very sensitive to needing the right fluid.

Incorrect fluid level = Waaaah High temp = Waaah Wrong fluid = MASSIVE Waaaaaah Too long between services = More Waaaah... You get the picture.
