Have you checked the fluid level hot engine running in park.

How is the fluid condition and filter?
Ever been serviced?
What is the mileage and service and repair history?
Pan drop and new filter fixes a lot of 400 problems.
When opan is off also see what is in the bottom of pan.
Post back info and what you find.
