Typically the valve body. Did you have the "reverse slam", where there would be a delay before it went into reverse, and at that time it would be a hard shift?

Thanks for your response, and Yes. That is how it started. Once it got warm there was just a 2-10 second delay before slamming into reverse.
 
I am still able to get it to go into reverse when I really need it to by revving the engine (and holding the brake).
 
A new and quickly worsening symptom is that (particularly in hot weather) after a few stop lights, it will stop climbing all the gears. Which one it hangs on is random, lately it has been 3rd gear, for a while it was 1st. After it cools a bit it works fine. Is there any form of coolant that might not be reaching the valve body to cause this?
