Thats usually caused by too high of pressure in the transmission.I would do a pressure test and see what you find there.

You need a transmission pressure tester kit i have a pretty nice set it was under 60.You have to hook it to the transmission like a oil pressure gauge.I will look and see if i can find info on checking the pressure on a car that old on the online data i have.
