Just wondering if anyone has had this problem, when the car is cold (first 1km) at 60kmh its drops into 4th the back to 3rd or 2nd to 3rd i'm not sure and keeps doing this until the car warms up and goes in to o/d, but when it's warm it does the same thing at 80kmh dropping in and out of gear, its really annoying! Anyone had this problem before? it's at around 1950rpm but the tps seems to be in good shape, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the auto

Sounds like a solenoid issue perhaps?

Considering yours is a 1990 model, these problems are more likely to start coming up.

Simple question, have you run the on board diagnostics to check for transmission error codes?

Bahaha come on James.

A Celsior/LS400 is one of the best built cars, today I am still baffled at how little goes wrong with them.

Hence why I am getting one soon for daily driver/run around.

Though if someone has thrashed one around, then they can be problematic, hence why one buys a tidy example.
