My 2000 Toyota 4runner V6 160k miles automatic transmission started slipping on cold starts especially in the morning. After starting up, putting in drive and pressing the gas pedal first gear doesn't immediately engage but slips with no real power reaching the wheels. Then after about 3-5 seconds of slippage in jumps into 1st gear and then seems to shift normally. Based on this what is your prognosis? Is this the beginning of the end for this transmission, or could a flush & change fix the transmission problem. Add fluid? I am desperate. Thanks in advance
