Consider doing the sticky finger test - after the trans oil has drained stick your finger in the drain hole. Curl your finger down to feel the lowest surface around the hole. You should find a magnet-shaped like a large coin. Collect some of the stickiest goop from around the magnet with your finger and examine.
Very sticky/slimy goop =grease from the "sealed" bearings =bad!
Bright gold metal bits = synchromesh debris = bad.
No stickiness and no metal = consider fitting fit the detent mod.to prevent 2nd gear pop-out problems in the near future.
