    It could be a number of reasons such as low on ATF, restricted flow due to partially plugged filter, ATF degradation due to irregular or non-existent maintenance, solenoid malfunction. Check your fluid level according to the owner's manual. If it's ok, then change the filter and fluid. Most of the time this will alleviate the problem.
