I recently (about 10,000 miles ago) had the automatic transmission in my '90 Celica rebuilt. I noticed when the weather started to get warmer that when I would shift into reverse, there would be a delay in when the car actually started to reverse. The same seems to be the case when I shift into drive. Sometimes the transmission will immediately shift into the selected gear, other times it will take up to thirty seconds for it to shift. Once it shifts though, everything seems to run smoothly and without any serious issue.
I was thinking it may be because the transmission fluid was dirty so I swapped that out with some new stuff. Still having the same issue.
The next thing I was thinking was to change the filter on the transmission. I was thinking that maybe the fluid isn't moving as it should and that replacing the filter would (HOPEFULLY) resolve the issue.
Any ideas?
