Automatic Tranny Help

[vipermj9]

I have a 97 automatic coupe. About 3-4months ago i started noticing problems with my tranny. Trying to pullout from a stop, it feels like it cannot grab a gear and shakes violently. sitting in the car it feels like wheel hop, although it most definetly is not. This usually happens after driving at higher speeds like on the highway for a long time, then coming to a stop and it acts up. also it usually only occurs more frequently when it is warmer out. however the problem does not happen all the time and check engine light then came on about two months ago. i then had a friend reset the light. a few days later it came back on. Is my tranny bad? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

First off check the fluid level on the tranny. Second, what code is it throwing? how many miles on the tranny?
