All of the above, new filter, good fluid, drain the converter and go from there. I'd also add Lubegard additive to the service.

It sounds like a valve is sticky and/or the internal seals are hard from age and when it warms they become more pliable.

If you need a transmission Sun Valley in CA is really good.

Good luck!!!
