that happened to me once...a 2nd gear shift put a hole through the servo and it lost pressure to hold the band for 2nd gear.
if the trans isnt shot, if you keep driving it, even if you take it easy, you will most likely cause further irrepairable damage. get it looked into asap.

the look sometimes isnt as important as the smell...
that applies to a lot actually...

If it smells bad, chances are it looks bad....tranny fluid that is....and tranny fluid is such a good cleaner/ degreaser that sometimes brand new fluid can look " maroonish/ grayish" in a matter of minutes.

His tranny guy probably put a corvette servo in his tranny. It is actually an upgrade to what a stock camaro/ bird would have.

Yep, exactly what I was thinking.
The "Corvette" parts thing is pretty funny though. I owned a Vette that had a stock 165hp 350, looking back I probably should have marketed it as a "Vette" motor for the extra $.
