Auto trans service. Not just a driveway trans oil change but a full service at a auto trans shop. They will pump all the old oil out chanhe the filter and replace it. If you do it in the drive you only get about half the old oil out.

Make sure you supply the trans filter or the trans shop will rip u big time 4 one in fact i would even supply the trans fluid for the flush out at there prices yuo would most like be able to do 2 times for what it costs.

It is a simple answer. There are so many particles in the oil that the pick-up gets blocked stopping the oil flow. I assume that if you turn it off then it goes good again for a while.
The problem is that the auto is near needing a rebuild as the linings have worn pretty much away.
The good thing is if you do it now then there shouldn't be any major damage just need new clutch packs etc etc.
Don't drive it as the more you do the more damage you'll do.
