Transmission Shift Light - Transmission Problems! 850 1995

First thing to do is check your transmission fluid to see if it's burned. If so replacement should help. Alot of people recommend synthetic. I've noticed here that the '95 tranny's seem to develope some unusual shifting problems. I've put an auxillary cooler on mine and it has helped but I have problems with it shifting into the winter mode when it gets hot, clunks going to reverse sometimes and first-second shifts are not real smooth. I can tell when this "winter mode thing" is about to happen because the downshifting coming to a stop seems very notchy and not smooth at all. It seems heat related because running with the ac off seems to help.
