transmission slipping

[daniel6409]

Hi
2000 lxs with 115,000 miles started to slip when it worms up. Shifts like new in the morning but going home it will rev up when shifts or does not down shift.
Help Thanks Dan:roll:

Welcome to this forum! It might related to the valve body gaskets, loose valve body bolts, improperly adjusted bands, dirts fluid, clogged filter, failing EPC solenoid, or a combination of things. More information would be required to make an accurate diagnosis. What's the repair history, maintenance, type of fluid used, and intervals between fluid changes?

Hi this is a use explore that I far as I know has not had any maintenace done. Shifting manualy it works ok. The overdrive light flashes when I use it. If I'm gentle when I pull away from stop it shifts ok. After long drives it will not down shift.
Thanks Dan

The flashing overdrive light means that there is a trouble code stored which needs to be read. It's the transmission's version of a check engine light.

You need a scanner which is capable of reading manufacturer specific codes. Not every scanner is capable of reading codes from the transmission, ABS, or SRS systems.
