Is my transmission about to bite the big one?

If you've got a big problem, the magnets won't catch it all. That's why I asked.
 
Ah, I see. :beerbang:

Well, so far the slipping has only happened at high acceleration, not with the way I normally drive. My dad says it could be something very simple like the gear shifting thingy not finding the right mesh or something. Does that make any sense? :tardbang:
 
Nope. :tardbang:

That is strange though, normally transmission problems start at the low end of the gears. When you go to start your motor revs but doesn't shift into low. Don't know, what year of car is it?
 
Well, I'd go ahead and take it to a mechanic. Make sure he's got the diagnostic computer, they can hook it up and tell you exactly what is wrong, and about how long it will last if you don't fix it now, or what it will tear up if you don't fix it now. Definitely one of those things that if it is starting to go, get something done now, it will cost alot less to make a small repair than to swap transmissions.

Well, what model is it? Dodge trannys do pretty good to get 100k on them, My Suburban has 200,000 on it and hasn't slipped a bit.
 
Is the top of the white "testing" part of the dipstick the "full" line? Or are the "full" and "add" line both within this white area? If a tranny is too full, that's bad for it too.
