Codes?
Have you checked the fluid? could be many things. The 99 to 01 models have a known design flaw that results in shattered planetary gear sets and in/op transmission. Same issue as on the later Sequoias.

How much miles in on the car? Any CEL/DTC?
As mention, the 99-01 models has the different trans from the more reliable a541e vs the u140e found in the 1999-2001. the u140e doesn't have a good trackrecord.
Drain and refill the transmission fluid. I'd recommend blackstone lab for fluid sample test. You may need to rebuild the trans or find a replacement.
