Auto Tranny Failure?

[botang47]

Lately, my tranny has had problems shifting at higher speeds. It will drive ok at lower speeds, but at higher speeds (above 55) it won't seem to shift correctly. I'll hit the gas and the rpm's will shoot up, but the speed will hardly increase. The worst is on a hill. I'll rape the gas pedal and the speed will continue to drop. I know auto trannys are crap, but is mine completely toast?

Yeah... It's on it's way out. Do you have a 4cyl or 6cyl? It's probably too late to install a tranny cooler. When was the last time you replaced your fluid? What color is your fluid? How many miles have you squeezed out of it?

4 cylinder. Fluid was good, already checked. The car has over 150,000 miles.

ur clutch packs are probably toast by now... U can try to do an ATF drain/fill, but it will only help temporarily. Ur tranny is on its way out.. I'd be careful on where I'll drive that car cuz it could give out anytime now

Don't drain and fill, it will add to the problems. It's too late, for any kind of service.
