In four weeks, if this problem has gone from once, to occasionally and now regularly, it won't be long until the transmission fails.
As I said earlier, you can try a fluid and filter change, but my guess is this is not an issue relating to fluid/filter contamination. It's likely a problem with failed parts. When you pull the pan, if you find more than about a "dime's worth" of chips or metal powder, you need an overhaul.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
sorry, Hib, but I don't agree with your "dime's worth" comment. You just described the majority of automatic cars on the road! I recently replaced fluid and filter in my 91, at 110,000 -simply because I didn't know the history of the car- and there was a film of light crud, probably aluminum dust, in the pan. the filter, too, was dark with whatever, also some aluminum "molecules." In the 3 yrs I have owned it I have not noticed the slightest symptom with it. certainly would not rebuild it based on the modest residues, even a dimes worth of chips.
