99 sc400 seems stuck in gear at stop light
99 sc400 137k. I have only put about 1500 miles on this car bought from original owner that always had it serviced at lexus. They did a good job of keeping all receipts
Car mostly sat the last 4 years until I purchased it
Twice recently it seems it doesn't come out of gear at a stop light and lunges
Fluid level seems right

I did not see any receipts for a transmission service.
I have been reading a little about that, wgats the proper way on a car that age that has been sitting. I know it takes T IV fluid

ECU likely has leaking capacitors and broken circuit traces. Best to inspect/ repair before going down a lot of rabbit holes….

Depends on your budget and tolerance of down time. Buying a spare (hopefully tested/rebuilt) can be $500-700 or more.
Removing it and sending it out for testing/repair can be around $200 but will be 7-10 days turnaround.
I used SIA for this service. Others have used Tanin.
