I would rate the fluid as "fair". It is a little dark but not black, maybe slightly brown. It was flushed 25-30k ago when it was about in the same condition. I would guess it was original at that time.

Is there any way I can test the solenoids without doing the disassembly procedure and replacing them all? I'd hate to spend another couple hundred bucks and a Saturday with no hope of repair. I checked around for them and they are out of stock at transparts and more expensive/hard to find elsewhere. Also, I followed the PNP switch repair walkthrough, taking it out, disassembling and cleaning, despite it appearing to be fine in the first place. Is there a way to test that?

Hmmm, that's an interesting problem. Sorry, can't help...my solution was to call the junkyard. They came, carted it off and gave me 250 bucks so I called it a day. Good luck.
