Answer
Hi Dan,
The manuals have all given up on giving you possibilites based upon symptoms, instead directing to the fault code readout. You can get that for free at most Autozone parts stores or for less than $40 at most independent garages. An OBD-II fault code reader plugs into a socket under the dash to the left of the steering column and it tells you some 4-digit numbers, at least one of which will relate to the problem with the transmission. Aside from checking for adequate fluid level in the trans that would be the start. Let me know what numbers you get and we'll go from there.
