It could be many things. One of the common problems was poor fluid. I would suggest changing the fluid. Use ATF+3 or ATF+4 which has more friction modifier than the stock Mercon fluid and see what happens. If it makes a big difference, you may want to consider using a synthetic fluid such as Ford Honey, Royal Purple, or Torco. Stay away from RedLine MTL.
