the tranny dipstick...is the fluid pink? or brown? does is have a 'burnt' smell? Brown and burnt, at the very least needs to be changed, it overheated (bad) but it may be ok for a while if you flush and change the fluid using ONLY "TYPE F" automatic fluid...ONLY F! If its pink and smells ok you should prolly still change it, and put TYPE F in it, since it may have Dexron in it...which is bad for these trannies. If it shifts crisply under load, downshifts properly for passing, it may be fine, and might be fine for another 100k miles (rare), but you should change fluid every year.
Do a search on how to change it if so inclined, holds about 8 qt, but only 2 1/2 or 3 will drain, so you have to change 3 times (4 betta) driving thru all gears in between.
Don't try to smoke em in first or second and it could last a long time.
