Hello,

Is this something that has been happening for sometime or just happened?
Is there any error light illuminated on the dash? Like a check engine light?
If so you might want to get it scanned. As that will help narrow down the issue.

You also might want to have the transmission serviced just incase you have contaminated fluid:

I have attached the transmission replacement guide for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
