When was the last time it seen a transmission service such as fluid/filter?

Might want to test the coolant temperature /throttle position and vehicle speed sensors the computer uses these sensor's input signals to command the tranny to shift/down/lock thru solenoids in the tranny.

To identify problems internally it has to be pressure tested.
