Been lurking Here for a while and have gotten lots of good info from other members. My sons 99 3.2tl just started these issues. If I put the gear selector in d4 the car tries to take off from dead stop in a higher gear. I'm not sure if its 2-3 or 4 but if you pull the selector down to 2 or 1 it takes off in 1st but does not shift to second when shifted manually but shifts hard into 3 or 4 when shifter in moved up to d3. I took the car to a trans shop and his odb only gave a p0700 code. I am going to another shop tomorrow. I have read lot about cleaning linear solenoid and pressure switches so I took those apart tonight and screens in linear were perfectly clean. Fluid level is right on full and fluid looks and smells fine (confirmed by reputable trans shop). Anyone have similar issues and can offer some advice. One more thing. The bolts on the linear sol were painted blue along with several other bolts but not the bolts to the engine. I've read that this possibly indicates replacement.
