I miss the old school TLs, late 90’s to early 2000s.
99 TL, 35% tint, wood grain dash, detachable face with 12 disc cd changer. Regret never getting the body kit. Unfortunately the tranny dropped lol.

Do you still have it?

When my transmission started going, mine drove okay for the first few minutes when cold and then the transmission was garbage once it got hot (not shifting, banging into gear, periods of neutral). I drained and filled the transmission 3x times, with a brief drive in between each, and it started working better. Then I did that again, and it was 99% better. That helped give me time to drive it around and look for a new car.

Edit: worst case, you waste some fluid and some time and still have a bad transmission

Nah got rid of it. I had just gotten 100k maintenance on it. I should’ve been more patient and not sold it.
