Hi Clinton11,
Thank you for the donation.
The transmission is shifting incorrectly and it could be due to a fault with the sensors or valve body.
Did you try to retrieve for trouble codes? You can get a free scan done at Autozone to retrieve the codes.
Does the Check Engine Lamp indicates while driving?
Have you checked the transmission fluid level and condition?
