Default Converter Problem

Well I got a new 8" converter and put it in my car. (dont want to say the name just yet) Went to Bowling Green this weekend and 60 foots were from 1.48 - 1.52. All over the place and about .1 slower than should be. My lights were crazy to the point I was questioning if I forgot how to drive a car!

Anyways I get home and check the stall. It goes 5800, then it goes to 6100, then it goes to 6000. Hmmm seems odd so I pull it out and the fluid looks like syrup and stinks like gear oil mixed with a$$. The fluid from the pan stinks like that but is bright red.

Just wondering if you guys think the trans is fine or what has caused this. I think just a dud converter.

Forgot to mention the tranny is fresh from my regular guy.
