Did not have reverse, or should I say, didn't feel the car going into reverse.
didn't go forward either. shut off, restart, back to normal.

A) the fluid must not be no more than a few years old.

Measure the fluid with the testing dipstick, was within range.

Was full of oil when I got the car, prompting the replacement of the electrical seal.

E) if you removed just the fluid. I would remove the circular connector, and replace it too..

already done, when I got the car, the TCM was full of oil. I cleaned it several times. I do have a spare, so I can swap it out should the car misbehave again.

no water (didn't see any on the dipstick.
Car has 227K miles, maybe it is the conductor plate. Is there a test I can do with Xentry?
I erased the codes, cleaned the TCM connector with contact cleaner, I noticed a little bit of residual oil on the pins, and plan on driving the car today.
