Now I understand you better and it seems you have a valve body problem. Its not an internal transmission problem but the valve body controls the whole transmission. Unfortunately quite an expensive lump, look for a second hand/recon valve body.

could you please explain valve body what an where is it please

Valve body is in the lower part of the Transmission, If you take the tranny oil pan down you will see it along with the oil filter.

These are also symptoms of a torque converter on the way out. You can test this by doing a stall test.

Put your foot on the foot bake, put the car in D and rev the engine up, it should not go beyond 2k RPM Warning only do this for 20 sec max.
