Default Automatic tranny problems

Man....I know i'm going to hear it now. My tranny is giving me problems. When I start it in the morning and put it in reverse it slams into gear, but only the first time in the am. When I drive off, second doesn't catch right away. I rev it till it catches, then go. When I was under the car doing the exhaust, It looked like the tranny was slightly leaking. I didn't touch it to find out. But the fluids good, I believe. Anyone got any advice?

Check your fluid level first. Sounds like its low.

It's the only reliable for sure thing you can do... Too bad it's _______(female dog) to swap everything into a car that was an auto.
