Slipping automatic transmission

Why Is My Automatic Transmission Slipping? If you have an automatic transmission and it "slips" while you are driving it-that is, the car engine revs without the power going to the wheels-the most common cause (though not the only possible cause) is low transmission fluid. If the slipping is caused by low fluid, it will get worse as the transmission gets hotter.
Why Is My Manual Transmission Slipping? A standard ("manual") transmission uses fluid too, but leaks aren't a common issue; a standard transmission could lose all its fluid and never slip at all, though eventually it would lock up while driving down the road. If you have a standard transmission, and it's slipping-the engine revs but it doesn't transmit power to the wheels-the problem is usually in the clutch.
Further down in the article I discuss how to diagnose this problem.
Sounds Like Low Transmission Fluid to Me

Time for a transmission rebuild, the clutches are shot or the system has a pressure failure.

Manual transmission? If so the clutch is shot.
Automatic transmission? If so then the clutches could be shot. If the truck eventually gets up to speed and seems better then the torque converter is bad. (internal sprag is broken) Automatic transmissions have a number of clutch packs and yours has at least one band as well. If pressure is low or the clutches are worn out it will slip. And it will get pretty hot too so your oil will smell bad and be a brownish color instead of pinkish red.

Hi,
If the engine is revving but your not going forward then it sounds like your clutch is slipping if it is a manual, or the clutch packs are worn if it is an automatic transmission. Either way the clutch or transmission will need to be repaired or replaced. Hope this helps, let me know how you get on.

you have worn clutch plates inside the direct drum for the foward gears. they last on average 100,000 miles give and take 20,000 miles

IF YOU GOT MANUAL TRANSMISSION CLUTCH SLIPPING.IF YOU GOT A AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.CHECK FOR LOW FLUID LEVEL WHICH WILL CAUSE SLIPPING.

Standard or Automatic ???
Standard: the clutch is slipping, Automatic: the clutches internal are slipping, did you bother to check the transmission fluid level first ?????

Since you did not say what type of transmission you have i will suspect the clutch is slipping if it's a manual.
If it's an automatic, it could be several things. Low fluid level...clogged filter, fluid needs to be changed..transmission serviced...weak pump, bands/clutch packs worn...etc
Good luck..i hope this helps, please rate me a fixya.

If manual transmission, the clutch is slipping. Check for pedal free play (about 1 inch or so). If automatic transmission, the fluid level may be low, or the transmission needs service.

I have the same car,,i think your automatic transmission is slipping,(check fluid),or if its a manual transmission,then your clutch is worn out.(replace)
