1991 SDL no forward gears

Bought the above car last week. I knew it did not move forward but only in reverse. Thought I might get lucky and have it be a b 2 piston issue. This weekend I pulled the pan and found no metal shavings or parts, only a small # of clutch friction pieces that broke in my fingers as I tried to pick them out of the oil. I could not get the transmission over far enough to check the b2 piston.
I did find black oil that looked and smelled more like oil than Dex 2.
Question is should I try and drain the converter and put in a new filter and fluid or just buy the used transmission ?
I have never seen any thing come out of a transmission that looked like this fluid did.
There was zero metal and reverse works very well. The filter was quite heavy and could have been plugged.
Thanks in advance
