you moer than likely have a broke 1-2 shift accumulator spring.drop the pan and on the drivers side front next to the valve body there is a half dollar sized hole,push up on the cover and remove the snap ring .the lower spring is probably busted.replace with a new spring andn replace the accumulator to .there is also a spring on top of the piston
