If I recall correct
it has a module on the side of the tranny
check it and check its vacuum source
hope that will help
good luck

[possible :
1- a loose or missing accumulator bushing
2 - tranny valve body

you may have to drop tranny pan and inspect for metal shaving
possible tranny rebuilt
may be wise if metal found in pan
