You might want to check your fluid level and have the thing flushed out with a new filter. Could be a semi-clogged pump!

This is a symptom of bad governor seals and/or worn housing, they can be replaced with the tranny still in the car. You have to pull the rear tail housing and it is on the output shaft.
