    It started by taking a while to go into gear. Then, I was driving normal, shifter in drive, it was slipping between the 1-2 shift. Now its slipping in first as I am trying to accellerate. It doesnt seem to matter how much gas I'm giving it, it doesnt change the lock-up.
    I can shift manually just fine. Hits the gears good and locks up good. Its a little sloppy going into drive, but goes. Any thoughts?

    Check fluid level. Check while running in park.

    Check for vacuum leaks.

    If everything checks out.....it is rebuild time.
