What is wrong if when you accelerate a 1993 Chevy Lumina van automatic will free spin as if shifted into neutral but then accelerate gradually?

Transmission might be going out, remove some of the transmission fluid and replace it with some transmedic. If you're not mechanically inclined, take it to Midas or someplace and they can do it for you. :)

What is the difference between an automatic transmission and a manual transmission in a car or truck?
an automatic transmission shifts through the 4 or 5 gears for you as you accelerate. a manual transmission must be shifted by hand using a shifter and a clutch (located next to the left of the brake pad).
Did Volkswagen make a fully automatic transmission for the old style bugs?
No. They did make a manually shifted "Semi Automatic transmission". No clutch, just shifted manually.
What is cause of noise when I shift car is shifted from reverse to drive or accelerate?
Could be a universal joint. If front wheel drive, it could be the constant velocity joint. I am assuming you have an automatic transmission. If it is a standard transmission, it could be the throwout bearing.
What causes a 98 ford ranger xlt to only start in neutral?
The Neutral Safety switch This is a part found on all cars with automatic transmissions. It prevents the starter from engaging if the transmission is in any gear other than 'Park' or 'Neutral'. It also turns on the back-up lights when the transmission is shifted into "reverse". It can get out of adjustment or fail.

1996 4Runner ATP light?
The A/T P (automatic transmission park) indicator on the dash normally illuminates when the vehicle may be in danger of drifting, due to the transfer case being shifted into neutral. This (drift) can happen even when the transmission is in park - since the transfer case effectively disconnects the upper drivetrain, when shifted out-of-gear. If the transfer case is properly shifted in H or L ranges (not neutral) and the indicator is illuminated, then there may be an adjustment needed in linkages or switch positions or even a malfunction in the circuit, such as a bad switch (i.e neutral safety, transfer indicator) or in the other associated electrical components. The Toyota A340F transmission manual contains troubleshooting procedures for determining such malfunctions, including the false indication of an A/T P lamp, (visible on the dash combination meter).
How do you get your 1996 Nissan Quest out of park?
When we have this problem, we turn the ignition off and shift into neutral, restart the engine and it can then be shifted into drive or reverse.
If there is no noise at all when turning the key but the radio and headlights come on could it be the starter on a 1995 Altima?
Try shifting from Park to Neutral to Park and if the car starts, you have aproblem with thepark/neutral safety switch. It may be failing or just need adjusting. This is a part found on all cars with automatic transmissions. It prevents the starter from engaging if the transmission is in any gear other than 'Park' or 'Neutral'. It also turns on the back-up lights when the transmission is shifted into "reverse". It can get out of adjustment or fail.
What is a AT transmission?

Why will van not go into gear?
I have a 1995 Ford Econoline van with an automatic transmission. When I went to drive the car today, the shift gear moved and shifted but would not go into gear. It's refusing to "click" into gear for Reverse, Neutral, or Drive, and has quite a problem clicking into Park as well. When I set the car to drive, it does not move, in fact it acts like it's in neutral. What's wrong with it? Is it the transmission, or possibly something else? If so, what?
