Answer
Hi Derek,
Get the transmission fluid changed out completely with a power flush, then see how it works.  Use only ATF +4 type fluid. If it still is not right then get a fault code readout of the transmission controller memory to see what codes there might be stored as they will give the best diagnostic clues. Let me know what fault codes appear and we'll go from there.
