It sounds like the torque convertor solenoid is going bad.
Try unplugging the plug at the top of the transmission, this is usually a blue plug and is easy to get to. If that is causing the problem you can purchase a new solenoid at the dealer for about $50 and replace it yourself. If not you will continue to have the same problem and you will need to look elsewhere.

I have the same problem, but only in a very cold weather (deep minus), before the engine really warms up. Could it be because of the same thing (TCS)?

I just posted the answer to this in another thread that was posted the same day. Doesn't anyone read other threads first or do searches on this site?

Damn.
