Default tranny skips when car hasnt been used in days

my tranny starts skipping if i leave my 96 blazer alone for a couple days. eventually it fixes and smooth sailing from there. i was told not to add anything to the tranny because it might not mix we'l and ruin the tranny. car has 152,xxx miles. What should i do?

If the level is off, correct it. Nothing wrong with adding fluid.

As far as the condition... When was the last time the transmission was serviced (filter/fluid)?

You could try some Lucas transfix when you service the transmission.

And please cut the CAPS out... Also, you can bump your post after waiting a day or more, but do so without the attitude. If you don't like the responses, you can always pay for the advice you receive free here...
