Answer

You may have a sticking valve in the transmission or sticking transmission control solenoid. I would start by replacing the solenoid to see if that helps. It is a pretty common problem, it is a 3.5 hour job shop rate to replace and you could verify the problem to see if pressure is low while problem occurs. Let me know if you have questions, thanks.

Are you refering to the pressure control solenoid, and if you are where is it located?

It is located in the transmission and you will need to remove the drivers side axel and remove the side cover on the transmission to access it. Let me know if you have questions, thanks.
