Was the car running and level when you checked the fluid?

not sure how we can help but looks like a tran issue ... either you rebuild or swap it with another used one ... might be a good time to consider a supra swap

Overfilled can be bad, and what color is your fluid?

I'm having somewhat of the same problem. Transmission fluid levels are WAY high and a little burnt :-(

Transmission fluid level will always show way high when its in operating temperature. This is why you should check tranny fluid level when its cold. Your problem is probably in the transmission.

drain all your fluid and replace with toyota type IV ,,,that might help or if not usually its the solenoids that need replacing, also you can check for tranny codes being thrown ,,,is your trac light on ?

It's not going to help. Once your tranny starts acting up, it's pretty much done for. The tranny won't magically to back to normal. Sorry to hear about your tranny.

I know that feeling, mine JUST started slipping in first... LOL Not bad for 2 years and 20+ thousand miles. Maybe almost 30k now on boost.

I found out what was wrong I had to change out my Transmission Fluid Filter it was old and clogged up since then she's been running like new.

Thanks again for all the help
