tranny acting wierd

Ok this mornig I get in the truck and start it up, shift into "R" and the shifter just fell into place --no pressure. I thought OK its cold and doesn't like it. Let the truck Idle for about 10 minutes while I loaded up and then left. Tranny temp was around 70--fluid is about 2 months old, synthetic. Driving up the road 1-2 was sloppy and then it held 2 and wouldn't shift. I stopped and restarted and the same thing. this time I pushed it and around 43 mph it jumped into 4'th. I then down cancled the OD by button and it shifted into 3'rd. Also the temps where all over the place. I have the scan gauge and the temps would go from 100 to 20 then to 120 to 80--all over the place. It did this the rest of the day except for when I layed into it, then it would go into 3'rd Ok.

Any idea's? Sticking valve? With the sloppy shifts and the temps all over maybe the pump?

Did the same thing today when cold-on the way to work. But it was fine on the way home. Any ideas?
