I will try to describe symptoms,1989 cressida auto, I have had it for a
year or so, it has never liked getting out of first or second till it
has been a few kilometre's then works normally for the rest of the day
but it is now misbehaving.It is erratic in when it changes, sometimes
at driving speed as it changes to a higher gear it revs up as if there
is no connection to the gearbox and suddenly grabs,sometimes it behaves
normally except for softer changes.
Sometimes it seem normal
If , as soon as it revs with no seeming connection I drop revs it then
changes.
This behavior has started with no gradual warning like slipping.
Could it be something to do with solenoids or oil pressure or a
blockage? Oil level is normal.(I am hoping it is not clutch plates)

What is the color and smell of the ATF? Is the OD Off light flashing?

Update, I may have fixed it I changed the filter (old one looked pretty
clogged)in the sump and it seems to be working.
I will know more after a longer test.
I put a new filter in but it looks as if the old filter would be easy to
reverse flush, I cut it open , it is just a big sheet of fine mesh
Ps I copied that manual and printed the whole thing one page at a time.
I know , I am mad. Took full cartrige of ink made a book 3/4 of an inch
thick (printed single sided)

OK, if changing the filter and fluid improved things, you'll want to change
the fluid again in about 3,000 miles - just a drain and refill - don't power
flush the transmission unless you feel very very lucky.

If it's the manual I sent you, it's for a Supra!!!

But, a lot of the systems are similar between the two cars.
