The reason the transmission oil is black is due to the graphite that is used in the friction linings. It is NOT dirt! This requires the special ATF from the dealer and a special filling procedure. maintaining the proper level is critical in this transmission. I don't recommend shade-treeing this transmission. IF you decide to do it anyways there is a drainplug on the transmission pan, so there is no neeed to worry about making a mess, just drain it out the drainhole (and the torque converter drain) then remove the pan. Depneding on the year you have there are a couple different modifications MB wants done in there.
