The transmission clutches and internal seals are worn and leaking. The 94 protege had an unique variable trans fluid pump that could have stuck at low pressure or wore out. Line pressure test will tell you if you need a new trans to fix the car. Next thing do you want to drive 13 year old car four years to get your moneys worth out of trans replacement. Or use the money and quickly trade in the car warmed up.

Two of the previous answers are pretty much right on.
However if money is an issue, there MAY be some help in a can.
As a rule, I don't like chemicals for a mechanical problem. This is one of 2 exceptions for me.
There is a product called K & W Trans-x and is available at most quality and some discount parts stores.
It isn't cheap. Runs a bit more than $10.00 for the can. I don't trust ANY other transmission additives. This one alone.
Follow the instructions to the letter, and after about a week of moderate driving change the filter and refresh the transmission oil (fluid).
This product will help to soften hardened seals, and helps to remove varnish and contamination in the transmission oil and restores the normal characteristics of the transmission.
It is usually only good for one shot, and will help to get about another year or so of NORMAL driving.
It is not a magic bullet, or a repair for abuse or lack of service, or for hard mechanical failure.
Good Luck

Drain the fluid out and change the filter. Make sure the pan is good and clean before putting the new filter and fluid in. Also, be sure not to over fill the trans. That may cause it to slip.
