Hi cama,
On some Auto Transmitions you have an air hose coming from the vacuume pump (possibly via a solinoid valve) and many also via a regulator into a control unit fitted to the side of the transmittion.
If you have a problem, eg a hole in the hose a faulty, regulator, solinoid, control unit, or vacuume pump.
You will get exactly the symptoms you have described.
Your problem may be rectified simply by refitting a hose that has came off.
Hope this helps
