Mmmm, that engage/disengage does point towards trans issues... but only on decel.... or perhaps it would "hunt" between gears at certain steady speeds sometimes & you just haven't experienced that yet...

Either way I think that if you're planning a manual swap, you have the best idea so far in getting your moneysworth out of the autobox while you accumulate the R154 bits, but maybe try checking &/or changing the trans fluid & filter (what does it look/smell like by the way?) and have a look over the adjustment of the cables (kickdown & shifter) to see if there's anything awry there first...

P.S. Actually, I'm sure there was some kind of diag you could do on the gearbox in TSRM but I can't find it, usually if there's an electronic fault though the O/D light flashes...

EDIT-: Ah, found it!!! http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Librar...aspx?S=AT&P=14
