You're going to have to define it a little better.
I think the problem is with the idle speed and not related to a trans problem.
What engine?
What is the idle RPM as it starts cold, what does it go to after a minute or so?
What rpm does it go to, WARMED UP, when this happens..in Park position?
do you note too high rpm when pulling to a stop?
Go to Autozone or other parts place that does free diagnostic code readout and get the codes, if any.
Clean the mass air meter and the idle air control.
do you think a throttle cable being loose could cause it maybe it is worn or sticking
