it could be that u might get away with just changing the fluid but beware these transmissions are a weakpoint so it might also be time for a rebuild just hope for the best, im in the middle of getting mines rebuild as we speak

My '03 started doing the same thing at 100k miles and a fluid and filter change took care of the problem. DO NOT do a flush. Just a fluid and filter change. And I recommend using the Castrol "high mileage" fluid.

refer to your owners manual. If it calls for Dexron III and you use Dexron VI, you're not doing it any good at all.
