First, make sure the fluid is up, but you probably did that already. Second, check to see if the fluid smells burnt. If it does you've been having clutch slipping problems and it's probably near gone anyway. If you're trying to squeeze a little more life out of an older vehicle there are a few things you can do. What you're describing seems like a "valve body" issue, where seals are possibly leaking pressure and valves are not moving properly. When they warm up they might work better... sometimes... if the stars are aligned and you hold your breath. First, let it warm up before putting it in gear. That might help prevent transmission slipping but maybe not. Second, there are some transmission seal additives that can soften the seals of a transmission valve body and help it last a little longer. Sometimes using these products make the seals SO soft that they give out, but it's all a gamble anyway so if the transmission is getting to be marginal, go for it. One brand is called "Trans-X" and it seems to be a little better than some of the others, at least by my experience. Obviously a transmission rebuild would be better but in the real world some of us can't afford that and we need out vehicles to keep running.

Do you have enough transmission fluid in the trans? Be sure it is full and you will notice and instant change. If not, have a transmission mechanic check the bands to ensure there is no slippage, otherwise, I'm not sure. I hope this helps, E200

Why would your car feel like it shifting gears going down the high way but not in low speeds like in town?
Automatic transmission shifts can be related to fluid temperature and some vehicles also have sport style settings that can change shift quality. If the shifting is irregular and causing unusually high engine speeds this could be a symptom of transmission gear slippage. Gear slippage can result in transmission damage, and should be checked as soon as possible. Automatic transmissions are complex systems, and their overhaul/replacement can be very expensive repairs.

If your car revs up real high when you step on the gas but has a hard time moving forward is this a symptom of belt slippage?
Belt slippage usually results in a squeeling noise and the belt will eventually heat up and self-destruct. You may have a clutch problem if the power is not getting from the engine to the tranny. Or it can be a trans problem is something inside is worn and slipping. Check the transmission fluid if it is an automatic. If the transmission fluid is good and it is an automatic, you will probebly have to take it to a transmission shop. Very little can be done to repair an automatic without removing it from the vehicle. If it is a manual, have a qualified mechanic check the clutch. I've had the same problem,it turned out to be transmission problem. I had to pay $1400 to rebuild my transmission. The longer you drive with a bad transmission,the more damage is being done to it.
