It now takes alot more RPMS for the gears to shift than it normally does. Sometimes it won't shift at all. When taking off from a red light, it fist acted like it was in neutral then it acted like I'd just popped the clutch (it's an automatic trans. Once in a gear, I would say it doesn't slip. I had to cut short a trip tonite. I turned around and once it got into top gear it stayed there for 200 miles.
Some info that might help: I have a valve cover leak that is causing oil to accumulate under the engine and thereabouts. It was raining like heck and had been for the entire 400 mile roundtrip. Once when I put it in park, it whined until I shut it off. I would say that it has been a little slow in downshifting lately, but would not swear to it.
Thanks for any ideas. Rich
