john these transmissions have solenoids and pressure sensors in them that go bad often, have it checked out by a tranny guy and see if he can run a scan test on it and find out if its a solenoid or sensor.

use a small scan tool to read the codes, if there is a governor press sensor code or a transducer code replace them as a set . there is a techtran mnual that will show you how to remove the valve body and replace those solenoids on skribd.com
