First thing would check would be the fluid level. Take out the top (fill plug) of the two plugs and stick your finger in there. Should be right at the bottom of the fill hole.

It should be Dex/Merc III.

While you're in there, I'd go ahead and change out the fluid. It'll take just over a quart. So get 2 quarts.
