Nice looking 240! When I bought a 240 with a neglected AW70, changing the ATF twice and adding a bottle of STP high mileage ATF additive really made a difference to shifts when cold, and helped with the transition from P to D when cold. Usually I don't believe in magic potions to fix old engines or transmissions, but in this case I really think it helped. The transmission still shifts well 8 years later, although now has the typical AW70 trait of late shifting due to wear in the valve body.
