Looking inside a tranny filter

Crosley...what is the "blue" stuff in the filter? Paint chips?

Hey Tony:
Quick question I know you will have the answer to:  On a 350 TH, can I change the shifter shaft seal from the outside?  Do I need a special tool?  I am getting a tranny fluid leak, and all indications are that it is coming from the shifter shaft, because that is where everything is the most wet.  Though, only after it has been driven.  I took the shift lever off, and it doesn't leak when it is just sitting.  But there is the slightest telltale seeping around the shaft when I look real close.
Thanks, Bob W (I know, long time no post.  I've just been real busy, and I only have dial up, so it takes so much time to log on etc.)
