Question

Hello all,
recently changed my transmission fluid after 31000 miles and found
gray paste on the drain plug. Should I be worried? My
transmission seems to shift fine although recently reverse is a
pain to get into when it usually would go in on the first try.
Thanks for your time.

Paste is fine mate, time to get worried when you get a considerable ammount of metal flakes on it.
