The color looks very red, and it doesnt smell burnt. I've got tons of questions about my accord but im gonna read the forums first.
the fluid is supposed to be red....mine was somewhat of a dark red when i changed it...it should look something like cranberry juice(JUST DONT DRINK IT!). So it looks like u have good fluid in there. I guess i got used to my tranny, i dont notice the shifts like others are talking about..
