If you really think this is a Transmission problem, and not Computer related, I suggest that you run a good Cleaner in the Transmission with an eventual Fluid Change first.

Again, IF you run a cleaner through it first, you may not have to check the Valve Body
You should be able to tell if it's done any good before you take the pan off. Then you'll know if you need to continue. If things get better, then just change the Fluid and Filter. 90% of shifting problems are because of shellac which is most frequently created from overheating or lengthily uses of Fluid. It doesn't' have to smell burned, to have a buildup, and a very easy inexpensive fix if it works.

But, a picture is worth a thousand words...
