I would do NOTHING right now. Drive it again for awhile and see if it ever does 
it again. There's a good chance that it won't, or that it only does it on long 
hot road trips.

My 73 AT did this to me on a trip a few years ago and I thought I'd have to 
work it over. I still haven't touched it and it asn't happened since....
