When you check your fluid, you also have your engine idling, correct? Also it should idle 5 min. before checking.

^ +1. The level of ATF in the tranny is very important to the way they feel to. Be sure your checking the ATF on a level surface. And yes, if it's too high or too low it could possibly cause the problems you're describing.

Drain it and refill it to the correct amount!

The most accurate test is to drive around until the engine is warmed up, then park it on a level surface (keep the engine running), put it into neutral with the parking brake set, and check the fluid level.

+1. Be sure you're on a level surface, and that the engine is ON and at operating temp.

When was the last time the ATF was changed? And the ATF in the differential?
