dirt on dipstick
Hey whenever i check my tranny fluid theres a lot of dirt that comes on the rag when i wipe it. I cant see the dirt when i pull the dip stick out, its only when i wipethat i see it. Its not leaking any fluid. Its been like this for a couple years i think. But now its starting to slip sometimes, usually once or twice a day. And when it shifts gears mainly between 1st and 2nd and 3rd it reves high then shifts. Yall think im bout to have a big tranny bill on my hands? Its the 4.5L FWD 89'

Probably your best bet and value is to find a used trani and switch them.
Overhauls are EXPENSIVE.
