Hello,

Could you please give more detail as to when did it start. Does it do it when you first start it in the morning? Do it drive normally after shifting from 1st back to Drive?

Now have you checked the tranny fluid level?
When was last tranny service?
What color is the fluid? Red/Pinkish or Brown/Black?
Does it smell Burnt?
If tranny fluid is Smells Burnt and is Brown/Black have the filter and fluid changed it could be the cause.
