Transmission Issue

2000 Avalon My transmission shifts normally during normal driving and is full of fluid (no leaks). Anyhow, it does have a problem though. If I put my foot into it, the engine will race but the transmission will not engage. The car continues down the road but accelerates only slightly. I tried it today and about had a heart attack when I glanced down at the tach and it was approaching six grand. Ideas? Thanks. jor

Well, you need to verify that the fluid is at the proper level (checked while the car is running, warm, and on a level surface), and you need to inspect the fluid condition. It should smell sweet and have a light red color to it. But unless you really know what you are doing, I would seek out a competent technician soon. Sounds like you have a serious friction issue.
