Why My transmission oil is getting dirty ?

Why My transmission oil is getting dirty ? I change the fluids in filters in June of 2009 I did not do a flush because they say if you do a flush on the tranny your transmission will break. The Transmission shift fine so far no slips, What should I do?

Oil change places try to sell more service and make money off of you!
Why My transmission oil is getting dirty ?
Just do a fluid and filter change on it at a shop.
change the fluid and filter again, if it keeps happening do a flush, just make sure everything is clean when you are reinstalling the pan
%26quot;Flushing will Break your Transmission is an Old Wives Tail, Doesn't Happen%26quot; if shop told you that get to a Good Shop! %26quot;Automatic?%26quot; Does the Fluid feel Gritty? It may be Starting to Slip but not enough to notice or effect anything. This time go to a Good Transmission Shop, Flush, Change Fluid %26amp; Filter again then have the shop test it.
make sure everything is not leaking and the cap is on tightly. some wear on the oil is normal
