Well, it's one thing, or it's another. You have a 50-50 chance of fixing it with a pair of wrenches and a few minutes time crawling under the car.

On the passenger side of the transmission is a square head'd bolt that is locked down on the side of the tranny with a conventional nut.

Loosen the nut, then tighten the square headed bolt one turn and retighten the lock nut.

If that has made the symptoms better, then adjust it a bit more. Do the adjustment in these little stages, lest you over tighten the bolt. There is a formal torque spec to use, but I don't have it handy.

That bolt controls the band adjustment. If the adjustment doesn't work, then that band is fried.

Used these transmissions sell for 200$-400$ each. They show up on ebay from time to time. I've got at least two laying about.

Good luck with yours.
