92 Sc400 Skips 2nd Gear?

[pimp92sc400]

Please help! once my car warms up it skips 2nd gear (sometimes) if I take off fast at all. my 92 sc400 has 126,000 on it. my fluid is clean, and i'm changing my filter this weekend. i hope it's not a transmission solenoid but i have been told that it could be. O, when i rest the computer system it gets better for a week or two. Please help, any help would be great.

ok... so i cleaned my transmission filter, it was a little dirty, and i'm still havimg the same problem. now what should i try. any help would be great!

i know the trans pan doesnt use a gasket except a silicone seal. the filter on the other hand should use a cork gasket.

sorry cant help with your problem, sounds like a problem with the AT computer if it gets better after resetting.

i think it's the computer too

i know it has a cork gasket but lexus said you leave it, was that wrong?

Maybe a faulty solenoid. I beleive there is a thread on cleaning the solenoids, If I remember it is fairly easy after you pull the pan. Search and see what you come up with.

jzz30 i see you live in hawaii... my car was bought there. do you know if that has something to do with me not being able to register at lexus.com

[jzz30]

its possible.

[pimp92sc400]

ok i did a search on solenoid. and i saw it when i cleaned my transmission filter, and my understanding is there is a screan that i need to clean. Is that right? and thanks for the suggestion DCFISH. I will give it a try

ok still having the same problem, but check this out, I always just leave my head lights on, because they go off with the car. so i turned them off the other day just because, and BAM no more transmission problems. then i turn them back on and F#@* they come back. so need less to say i have been driving around with my head lights off. SOMEBODY please tell me what the hell is up with my car. O and i do have a break light out that i'm going to change today. Why does my car hates me?

[jzz30]

oh ok i think one of your tail lights are out or something cuz my ls did that when the tail was out. some stupid saftey feature that doesnt let your drive at night.
