Thank you for your reply. As stated before, my Camry's auto transmission slips and hesitates when starting cold between first and second gear (between 15 - 25mph). It seems to work fine after it warms up. After resetting, the engine light comes on not immediately but after several miles of driving (when it's running fine) with the P0773 code. Do you know if the shift solenoid valve SL is causing this, i.e. is this an electrical problem? What does this valve do and when does it kick in? For example, is it functional at low speeds or does it kick in after highway speeds? I'd like to know if this is a solenoid problem only (OBD2 code P0773) or if they might be a more fundamental mechanical transmission problem. Also how can I reply to you without public display of email addresses? Thanks again.

94 XLE 3.0 V6 AUTO 1MZFE. Thanks!!

thank you very much. I have another problem now with P0773. Can you also help on this?

I have the check engine light on continuously with trouble code P0773. It resets but comes back on after some driving. Automatic shifting from first to second seems a bit rough at times especially when cold and can also slip at times. I understand that this solenoid in inside the tranny pan. How difficult is it to remove and replace the solenoid (there are pipes obstructing them?) and where can I purchase this at a reasonable price besides the expensive dealer? Thank you very much.

HELP! Can anyone give me step-by-step instructions for replacing the spark plugs (the 3 close to the firewall) on a 94 Camry XLE V6 1MZFE engine? What exactly needs to be removed and how, especially the air intake side? Thank you very much.
