Crud in transmission pan

I pulled my transmission pan off tonight and changed the screen. The transmission looks really clean to me, but there was some metallicy (isthat a word?) residue in the pan and the filter, and this crud on the bottom of the pan. No chunks of anything, but I wasn' sure if I should be worried. Any opinions on how it looks?

Thanks!

Re: Crud in transmission pan

If there are no chunks, and it is the consistency of a fine powder in the fluid, then that's normal. If it shifted fine before and the fluid wasn't overly burnt smelling, then put a new filter and gasket on it, fill it up and you should be fine.
