2006 explorer transmission slipping

I have a 2006 explorer that the engine revs before transmission changes into next gear! It seems to be in lower gears more and when accelerating from a stop! On another forum i found a quick blurb about valve body gaskets. Is this the problem and how can i verify?

Thanks,
CLUELESS IN KEIZER!

It is a job for those with experience as the valve body has to be removed for inspection of the gaskets and if you lose or misplace the little ***** in the valve body you will have it towed to a transmission shop. The other way is to take it to a transmission shop that can be trusted (HA!) and have them run an operational test on the trans.
Good luck with it.
