Drain and refill your transmission - many people on here (including myself, having done this less than a week ago) recommend Penzoil Synchromesh (you'll need about 3 quarts but buy 4 just in case). It's about a buck more than Valvoline (which I'm sure is also fine) but the fresh tranny oil will very likely resolve your problem. Search "change transmission fluid" or something on here for a how-to. It's VERY easy.

Be sure to check the old tranny fluid for metal shavings - a clear indicator of a much larger problem.
