the color of the fluid should be a clearish redish color and of a good consistancy(not thin). If your fluid is this color than it's not the fluid its the trans or something else. Regardless you could drop the pan but this does not change out all of the fluid. I would suggest a transmission fluid flush. Basically a shop does it where they circulate new fluid through the entire transmission flushing out ALL of the old fluid. They do this with a special machine that pumps it through at a certain rate. I had this done on my auto 92 at 28,000 miles, (the fluid was turning brown). This usually costs around 80 bucks at a shop. If you do this beware though,,,,if you have never had the fluid changed and the mileage is high than doing this can ruin your tranmission all together. The new fluid will "flood" the transmission. This is a result of metal filings being flushed out with the old fluid. Many shops will not do it if they forsee this problem.
This should help...
