Is there a lot of grass built up on top of the transmission?

What color was the oil you drained from it?

Do you pull anything with it?

No there is no grass built up.

Oil was of light Grey color.

Never pulled anything with it

The grey color is because of aluminum in the oil. Time for a tranny.
