transmission problems
in my 90 ls400 the overdrive light keeps flashing and once the car warms up it will start of in first gear and then jump to fourth and will not kick down. yet i can shift it by hand minus third gear.
what i done so far is changed the tranny fluid and added lucas trans fix today. yet it still does the same thing.
any help will be nice.
thanks

I edited your thread title to make it a little more descriptive than 'wtf'....
and I used forum search to look for "overdrive light flash" and found these threads that might be useful

You need to pull the OBDI codes for the transmission before doing anything else,once you have these post the results and we will go from there.
First thoughts at the moment are shift solenoids.

and the color of the new trans fluid is red. i ordered it from toyota themselves, but the old stuff was a real dark red, and smelled like burnt trans fluid.
