Does the fluid look clean? I'm guessing you've given it the "smell test" and it smells normal.
Why does the mystery fluid have to be Lubegard?
It doesn't have to be lubegard. It could be Seafoam Transtune or Lucas transmission fix. Lubegard came to mind while I was typing the post and in my experience, it does seem to help an ailing transmission.
