Default another transmission question

after driving for a while the automatic transmission stop working normal, like the gear start to slip but once it is cool down it start working normally.
does it sound like the computer on the transmission is bad or going bad?
I dont think is the transmission itself because of the way it work so fine.

Now I dont own a 5th Gen. But last I checked, it's controlled by the TCM or TCU, which takes speed, RPM, and throttle signals to determine shift points.
