The first thing we should do is check the fluid level, and if it's okay change out the fluid filter if you have not done it in the transmission fluid service. Here is a generic guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car:

Please check to see if the fluid is burnt and look for metal in the pan as well. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
