Here's how to test the transmission to see if it's an oil problem or a *transmission* problem:

Safely raise all 4 tires up off of the ground with jackstands, apply throttle from first to 3rd (I did this in a dealers shop one time) and if it shifts 'smooth' you probably have weak brake bands or they need adjusted..BUT if it shifts hard or *BANGS* (no load) while shifting, it's definitely the oil is bad. (Even if it looks good)
Hello RisingPhoenix, it is really hard for me to believe that, after such a long time and all this mysteriousness, the cause of my problem could be so trivial
Maybe all the time, I can't see the forest for one tree
