Are you absolutely sure the fluid level is OK...???Check it on a level
spot when fluid is warm while idling in park....there is only one
external adjustment on these tranny's and that is the 2nd gear brake band
adjustment...It doesn't typically need adjustment ...ever...start with
the basics..then go back to whoever holds the warranty & ask what you
should do...
