Some transmission specialists offer a flush and change service done via the oil cooler pipes which also gets the oil otherwise retained in the torque converter out. The same applies to the rear axle.

Check the connector on the transmission (driver’s side) if it has the rubber boot, or check for the connector’s connection cleanliness, check pins if they are not corroded, use electronic parts cleaner.
