Default transmission problem HELP!

i have a 01 gs300 with 130k

second going into threed it would have a jump. it would rock the car. it started today. but i notice for awhile when my car wasnt warmed up it would have rough shifting every gear. but today this happened. it would do it at low RPM. it was once in awhile but starting to do it more often. i check the transmission fluid it looks light pink. thinking of doing a tranny flush, and adding some lucus additive.

please feed back and give me your advice.

Plan for multiple drain and refills. Do about 4 quarts per drain and fill over the next three oil changes. Should get you to approximately 80% new fluid in your slushbox.

I used Redline D4 ATF.

Lucas is crap ... if you're going to use an additive find Lubegaurd.
