Saw thisonce and found that the tranny was running warm. The fluid was foamy and it was doing the same as yours. Changed tranny fluid and filter and it seemed to fix the problem. Sister in-law drives the truck now and its just fine still after 25,000 miles or so.

if its been that long then id say its due for a fluid change, any idea on an approximate amount of miles driven since?
