My transmission seems to be slipping. Still strong on highway and whenever car has momentum. Slips when stopping and turning. Reverse wont engage until engine is reved-up. Seems better when cold? Adding fluid causes smoking! Do you think changing the fluid and filter may help?
Simply adding fluid will cause more harm (more is not better in this case). Assuming that it hasn't been done in a while, take your car to a mechanic and have the fluid and screen changed before more damage is done. Then assess if the tranny is slipping.

Check fluid level and add if necessary. Otherwise, it sounds like you need a rebuild.... what is the current mileage?
Reverse not working us *usually* a sign that it's new tranny time. You could try changing the oil and filter - that's cheap and easy to do.
But be prepared to find a good used trans or have it rebuilt.
