Hi All,
Yup, changed tranny fluid, spin-on filter and, yes, also timing belt because of the mileage.
I've tried something new after reading multiple references of it in various threads: disconnected the TPS, started the car, let it complain with a CEL then turned off the car and reconnected. I can almost swear the shift is smoother now, but I'll post again in a couple hundred Ks and provide further updates
