    THIS SOUNDS LIKE A MECHANICAL PROBLEM NOT A ELETRICAL/ COMPUTER PROBLEM, IS HARD TO KNOW WITHOUT SEEING VEHICLE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON? ANY CODES?

    I concur that this may be an internal concern. We have seen may problems with solenoid packs and module that will create this type of symptom :)

    There are many electronic controls that directly and/or indirectly can affect the transmission operation. You have some type of electronic problem and/or you may have an internal transmission problem.
    The first step is to diagnose the vehicles electronic transmission control unit and electronic solenoid operations. This will in turn determine the source of the problem. This test runs $ 89.95.
