My car is listed above with an aisin automatic transmission. The problem is when I start driving for few miles and car becomes warm in normal temperature its speed slows down like the transmission slip or loss its power. Sometimes the ATF is becoming foamy like there is air pressure inside it but when I stop the engine and restart again the car move in drive range and go to slip again. Please help me to solve this.
Thank you

Good morning,

The first thing I would do is service the transmission fluid. I would change the fluid and filter as the filter may be the issue not allowing enough fluid into the front pump for building the correct pressure for the clutches.

Okay, you have an internal problem. It could be seals or clutches.

The transmission will have to be removed and inspected. Most likely you will need to replace it with a new or used transmission.

We found some water in the wiring harness connectors of the transmission.

Water is not good at all. The question is where did it come from?

Clean the connector of all fluid and re attach and drive it and see if it is still doing the same thing.
