The typical failure in the early versions of those trannys was overheating the overdrive. After driving on the freeway for a length of time, you would pull down an off ramp to the stop and the car would never move again because the o/d was fried. Your car is new enough that most of those failures have been fixed. If it still shifts good after it runs for a minute or two, what you probably have is a combination of a weakening pump and torque converter bleed down. The converter will fill a bit faster if you put it in neutral. Just know what it does, and don't abuse it. I have a '95 Taurus with 195k on it. The shifts have been mushy for years, but lately it's shifting a little different. I still think I can get another 50k if I treat it right. You might talk with a good transmission man, or shop about minor valve body modifications that might help it out a bit. I don't rebuild trannies, but I've sold parts for them for nearly 30 years now. There are lots of inexpensive items, or 1 or 2 possible fixes that might help it last longer.
