You may have a low transmission fluid level, check for correct level and top up if necessary. Once topped up (have it) check(ed) for leaks.

WE HAVE A SYSTEM THAT AFTER MAKING THE RELEVANT CONNECTIONS TO THE TRANSMISSION LINES ALLOWS YOU TO PUMP OUT THE FLUID WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, WHILE REPLACING WITH NEW FLUID THIS ALLOWS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM TO BE PURGED.
