I had to replace the transmission 2 and a half years ago and everything has been fine until this weekend.
I was on a long trip and I noticed after about 300 miles i couldn't accellarate. The temp gauge was in the normal range and everything seemed OK but if I pushe the gas the engine would just race like it was out of gear. I checked the fluid level and it was fine. I can speed up if I'm on a level road and this is about half of normal but the slightest incline and I could forget giving it gas after about 50 mph.I could push the gas a little and slowly pick up speed
The next day everything was fine until about 300 miles into the trip again and the same problem.
 






Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread to the transmission section. Check the sticky thread on the top of the transmission section called the 5R55W fluid fill. It will explain how to check the fluid level, and add fluid to this transmission.
