Does the engine rev higher than the speed that you are going, means that the trans. is slipping. Also, does it shift smoothly, in all gears ? Any banging into the next gear, and you don't have a shift kit installed. Does the trans. oil smell burnt, and discolored with shiny like particles in it? Those would be some good signs to check.
