P0753 code
My 94 es300 has sat for 5 years and recently I replaced the battery and drained/replaced the fuel. The fuel gauge was not working but I replaces the VSS ( vehicle speed sensor) and now the gauge works.
It seems to run fine but the trans starts out in third gear. I can manually shift it and it does great but starting out in D it wont downshift. I read the codes and I got p0753 code for shift solenoid A.
I am going to try a fluid and filter change next week for starters. When I used to drive it everyday it did fine but like I said that was several years ago.
Thanks... Dave

Before you change the fluid, run some seafoam or b12 in it for a week first. This may free a varnished solenoid, and there is a good chance it will. With the fluid change, add 9/10s of a bottle of Lubegard red in it. It may achieve the same, though via different chemical means. Even if the B12 fixes it, I would srill add this. One or the combination of these may fix your problem.
If you don’t flush the ps system, at a minimum, drain the reservoir and fill with clean atf and that last oz. of Lubegard. Castrol Transmax HM (green jug) would be a good atf choice here. Running 1 to 2 ozs of B12 in this a week before flushing is also smart.
The most important service I would do on a car that sat that long is flush and bleed the brake lines (maybe you have already). After driving it, see if any wheel hubs are unusually hot indicating a caliper is sticking.
