i have a 98 gs-t automatic and im getting codes 53,21,86. trans seems solid but keeps downshifting on me and then going into limp mode. pulled pan and everything looks normal. no metal shaving and decent trans fluid.

what do think this could be?
 
End clutch is known for going, get the alto end clutch and shouldn't have any more issues.

Just clean the valve body and flush the solenoids and changing the trans filter wouldn't hurt.
 
it seems to be more of a problem from second to third gear. takes a minute for it to shift but dont seem bad into over drive
