I have a 1989 Toyota Supra GA70, It has an A340E Autoatic Transmission. The problem is sometimes during takeoff it is very sluggish, this only happens sometimes, and other time it takes off normally. During the sluggish takeoff the OD/OFF light begins flashing, this is how the ECT ECU displays an error, so i bridged the specied terminls in the diagnostics port and read the code. The code that was displayed indicated an error with the solenoids in the transmission. What could be the problem? Thanks, Boris.

Check the kick starter,,,the bendis or automatic may be faulty,,!

Hi!

The speedometer effect the shifting of the transmission. But not having a Reverse has nothing to do with the speedometer. So all I can say is : Before you spend lot of money on fixing the transmission , Change your transmission fluid and filter , Use some fresh good brand of Transmission fluid and take your car for a test drive again and see if there is any change.If not then fix your speedometer then try again, If the problem is not solved then have your transmission serviced by tranny Shop. Good luck

Get a flush, and change the filter. Also check your belts the tranny will react in weird ways if you have a loose belt sometimes.

Spray some WD40 on it and let it sit for half an hour it is probably seezed

britty1411: According to Toyota
API: SG multigrade or better. 10W-30 above 0 f
Personally I put Castrol 10W-30 GTX in most of my customer cars unless they want to go synthetic.
Use a good quality oil filter.

run fault codes

could be wires disconnected inadvertently during the smog test /repairs

I have a hood emblem from an '87 Supra in very good condition that may work for you. Have you looked on ebay?
