Transmission Fluid that looks like that indicates that it is either contaminated with dirt or more likely that the clutches are burned out.

Pull that pan and see what it looks like - If there are lots of little chunks of stuff in there then it needs a rebuild.

Otherwise, you could try and drain it and replace the filter - but this will probably just be a waste of money and time.

Sounds like its time to rebuild based on the info.
