Reply to acuramstr's Post: yes the check engine light is on as well. Do we need to replace the transmission or is there a part than can be repleaced????

Answer

first of all check the fluid and see if it is dark or burnt ,it should be dark red and should not smell ,then see what code you have that is turning on the check engine lamp . unfortunitly i cant think of any part that that could cause this that isnt caused by an internal trans problem , lets see what the code is first let me know
