I have no idea what that means . But since very few people can repair their own automatic transmissions it seems that you should find an independent transmission shop.

If you have a friend, neighbor, or relative whose native language is English, I urge you to have that person re-post your problem. At this point, I doubt if many people will be able to understand what you are trying to communicate to us.

+1  
Transmission diagnosis is best left to professionals, and that doesn’t include the charlatans at the chain-run transmission shops.

Do you mean “after _sitting_”? That would make some sense and give folks a hint. Find a good transmission shop and have it looked at.
