I would check the impedance of the shift and the lockup solenoids. I don't have
a service manual but I think they should be in the range of a few dozen ohms.
If they are ten times that, they must be replaced. If they are within
specifications, you might have a flaky transmission control computer. It
wouldn't necessarily be indicated by any flashing dashboard lights. You should
also check for any flashing diagnostic lights on the computer itself when you
first apply power with the ignition switch. I think you have to peel back a
little flap of carpet under the passenger's left foot to see the light-emitting
diode on the module.
