Seems like what ever is sticking is managing to "un-stick" itself. This could be due to the raised temprature in your gearbox or the movement of fluid. Point is though, what on earth in there could be sticking? Thanks for the inputs. I took it to a garage today and they hooked it up to a couple of different diagnostic machines and neither machine would even read my car. It sounds like my real problem is that the car is Japanese specs. No one is sure how to work on it.

This generally happens when the weather is warm outside and the car is cold. Sometimes once the car has been driven for a ways it will have reverse even if it did not when it was started.

Let me start off by saying I am definitely not a mechanic. I have a 94 Toyota Aristo/GS300. I bought this Japanese spec car here in the UK. The summer after I bought it I noticed that it would not go in reverse some times. I took it and had the transmission rebuilt. It seemed to work fine. I had no problems until the weather warmed up again. That is when I started to notice that it only happend when it is warm outside. I took it back to the trans shop and they worked on it again as it was under their warranty. They could not get it to go in reverse when it got warm outside. They took it to another garage who told them they think it is the ECU. I have no proof that is the problem. Now that it has been nice out the past couple of weeks it has started again. Has anyone heard of this problem or have any idea what it could be. I have an appointment with another garage this Monday. They said they don't believe it could be the ECU from what I have told them. Any help would be appreciated.
