If your transmission is slipping that badly and you have continued to drive it, it is most likely toast now. Have you checked the level of the fluid? You can get this condition with low fluid level due to a leak, but probably too late now anyways.

Difficult to tell by his description if the trans is actually slipping or if it is simply shifting late. If it is the later, then one can get a schematic of the trans wiring and ohm out the individual shift solenoids including the TCS. If it is indeed slipping then a rebuild is likely in order. Either way the solenoids should be checked for proper resistance. Usually they ohm out around 13-15 ohms. I do not have the Toyota numbers so the 13-15 is a general guide-line. If they all ohm out close to the same then you are ok. Although the TCS may ohm out differently than the others.

I had a solenoid sticking and was able to drop the pan, remove it (very easy), tested and cleaned it (need an air nozzle and about 60 psi) and never had another problem. Not to say it would solve this problem. If it's slipping that's a different story than not shifting properly. Have you checked for error codes? Key on but not started, O/D button on, then jumper TE1 and E1 on the diagnostic connector. The O/D light in the dash should flash continuously if no problem or flash a code. Four blinks then two is 42. 61-64 are others.

3rd Generation

my ES300 does the same thing. i'd get first and second gear and then once the trans warmed up i got 3rd and o/d. its only happened because my kickdown cable was loose (though i doubt that has anything to do with it). but i know my tranny is bad but my fluid is good. my 2 cents

How long have you owned the car? How many miles have you put on it? How often has the transmission fluid been changed that you know of?
