After a few more blocks it got worse to the point I had to pull into a parking lot. I parked, turned the engine off and sat there a while. I started the engine but reverse didn't work so I shut the engine off again and let it sit a while. I was about ready to call for a tow truck. I tried it one more time and reverse worked just enough to back out of the space. I then put the transmission in 1 and was able to drive. I shifted into D and it started slipping real bad again and I had to pull over. I was now just a few blocks from home. After sitting with the engine off for a few minutes I tried it again in first and I was barely able to get home. It sits in my driveway now awaiting repair.
I checked the fluid and it smells a little burned and looks brownish.
I read a little about the valve body problems with the 1995 astros. Is this problem related to the valve body? Is this a major problem that will require a rebuild or is it something less drastic? Thanks Much!

yes if it's burnt fluid tells it all tranny time.
