Hows the fluid, the hydraulic pressure could be to low.

 

check your fluid

 

fluid level is fine. how can i check the pressure?

 

check the clutch plates, if the tranny has been dogged, or is increadibly used, these need to b replaced

 

By a helms, there are usually spots on the trans to screw a gauge in to.

 

Take it to the dealership, my auto tranny started slipping and there was something horribly wrong with it I had the fluid replaced 6,000 miles before and it had already gone bad, he was like wtf, took a look at it, drove it around, and said 'you'll need a new transmission'. What is the tranny doing?

 

clutch pack getting toasted

valve jammed, etc
