Change filter ,fluid and gasket --fresh filter and fluid may save ypu if the transmission is not totally burnt up also a additive like lukas oil helps the following link shows how to change filter in an impala it is easier to drain the trans by putting a pan under and loosen the bolts and leave 2 in and pry opposite side and slowly tilt pan down to drain than remove all bolts and clean out pan

Soft shifting, gradual performance degradation: Poor line pressure rise due to leaking boost valve, clogged EPC filter screen, failing EPC solenoid, or worst case: leaky seals throughout. Seal restorer may fix last problem. Also try a transmission flush with BG brand products (Firestone stocks it).
Chances are the boost valve may be leaking or a bad EPC valve. (EPC Electronic Pressure Control valve). Try not to drive the transmission to hard as to ensure you do not do any further damage which would cause in the transmission rebuilt.
Replacing the boost valve or EPC valve is easy once the transmission pan is dropped. Put a line pressure gauge (visit a local trans shop) on the pressure test port and go for a drive to verify proper line pressure. Base pressure at idle in P,N,OD should be around 70psi and around 140psi in R. Max line pressure should be at least 190psi at WOT in 1st or 2nd, 225psi is optimum. If base pressure is low, trans or pump is worn out. If max pressure is low, check EPC solenoid. If reverse is slow to engage, and line pressure does not come up to at least 130psi in reverse, replace the boost valve.
Thank you for using fixya and good luck.

No. Remove transaxle and have it rebuilt. Only way Approx $1800.00
10 years is a long time, for any transaxle,if it is the original
SOURCE: transmission seems to be 'slipping'. is there an
Yes it uses transmission fluid. be sure to check the level, IF it is really low, put it in slowly, stop and go in and step on the brake and go through the gears to circulate it. If it is not low, i would replace the filter at least to see if it is clogged.
SOURCE: mahual transmission is slipping is there an easy fix
No easy fix if it is the friction plate that's gone. If it is clutch adjusment that's easy.
