Transmission failure

Hi, you need to change the oil every 40000 miles in order to avoid damages in the high flow solenoids or the two biggest ones. By what you are telling us, I would say one of them is damaged. I recommend you to replace both of them, change the oil and clean the solenoids body and you will see how your transmission gets better. Hope it helps you.
