02 Sonata Tranny woes! Any thoughts?

[zavikan]

02 hyundai Sonata w/ 110k on the dial. A few weeks ago I stopped at a stop light and the car didn't shift all the way down to 1st. got to 3rd and stayed (wouldnt go up to 4th either). Put it in neutral, and back in Drive, still third.

After 2 traffic lights like this, I shut the car off and restarted it. It was fine. In the last 3 weeks or so it has done this maybe 6 times. this morning the shut off turn on trick didnt work so well. I did it 5 times before it would get into first.

Fluid is not low or burnt. Thoughts from any tranny experts out there? I'll have to take it to a mech, but I would like an idea as to what it is, and also talk to the mech...its always better to at least 'Sound' knowledgable
