Your tranny module could be bad ,you should see it on the side of the tranny  (passenger side) it should have a small hose hooed on the end of it , pull the hose off and see if fluid runs out of it and if it dose ,then you need to replace it. The module it what helps it to shift. You might just have a dirty transmission filter ,that needs to be replaced. I tell you what , they have a good transmission additive that's called      SEA FOAM be sure to get the can for transmission and not the one for the engine oil.You just need to pour the whole can into the tranny ,then let it runs until it gets good and warm.The just let it set for a day or two then try it out and see if it works .
