Transmission oil pan interior coated with red ATF, drain magnet…

this is the transmission pan after i drained the fluid and dropped it. note the odd white, milky, clumpy substance in the bottom of the pan. the fluid itself was bright pink, but seemed somewhat milky or cloudy, and almost too bright pink. after searching and consulting the forum, i believe a PO of my bronco drove it through water that was deeper than the vent, allowing water into the transmission. i have also installed a drain plug on the side of the pan now.
