Hi i just recently purchased my first 96 lexus lx450, the transmission starts in 3rd gear when I put in drive but when you shift it manually it is fine. Check engine comes on for transmission solenoids, i had both solenoids replaced with new ones but it made no difference
Thanks in advance
 
check the 2 large connectors above the bell housing to make sure they are clean and snapped secure. i had a intermittent issue for well over a month before finding this connector loose. i also change solenoids with no change does everything else work? trans positions feedback to the dash and what not? (the D light is often burned out)
 
Thanks for the reply cjmoon the car is currently sitting inside my shop i will check for the things you said and get back
