First I would check and make sure your fluids are full and are not burnt it should be a bright red color similar to a Coca-Cola can if everything is OK there then yes I would check solenoids if those are also fine I would say add or make sure it’s not clogged if you already have one but add a transmission fluid cooler it is similar to a radiator or if you already have one it’s going to be part of your radiator. Also take into consideration how many miles are on it if it has a lot of miles it’s best just to replace the transmission

I had a similar issue with an old Jeep Cherokee of mine it would slip and it would jump from a stop but my problem was the input shaft seal on the driveshaft it was leaking fluid
