Similar symptom on my 95 Windstar before. First - warm up vehicle and check auto trans fluid level with vehicle level, in park and running. Check for level and smell fluid. Does it smell burnt? Is it a nice bright blood red or dark red/maybe a bit brownish? Add AUTO TRANS FLUID to full mark if needed. If it smells burnt or has brownish tinge to it take to instant oil change place and have trans fluid flushed/changed. This may solve problem for a while, but eventually you are going to have to have transmission rebuilt/changed. I had re-manufactured trans installed with a 3-yr 75,000 warranty for about $2,500. Good luck.
