Burned Transmission Fluid?

I just changed my trans fluid a few thousand miles ago, car has 113,000 miles and its a 2003 pontiac grand prix gt 3.8engine. When i pull the dip stick the first pull the dip stick leaves a black streak on the towl after that first pull though no more black is left, what do you think this is?

Do have any other transaxle issues other than that? What you are seeing is normal once you get high mileage. I get it when I do the first wipe on a white paper towl. IMO normal fair wear and tear since the clutch packs and other internal components wear over a period of time. Unless you are having tranny issues I would not worry about it.

Second!

Does it on pretty much every vehicle I've ever worked on. As long as the flud stays red/pink and doesnt smell burnt I wouldnt worry about it.
