I have a 94 stock GT automatic, a little over 125k miles with a 60k checkup completed 15k miles ago.
Alright I was driving back to my school on the highway doing my normal 75/80 cruising. I hit stop and go traffic where I had to slow down to about 20mph. When i accelerated back up to 70 everything was normal and then all of a sudden i could feel the transmission slip gears and my RPM's shot up to about 5k. I slowed down and got in the right lane and kept braking down and accelerating trying to get it back into gear. With no prevail I rode at about 3750-4500 rpms going 55-60mph for a few miles until i got off at the exit for my school. After i got off at the exit whenever i came to a stoplight, i could tell i was accelerating from 2nd gear when i gave it gas. I had almost no power from the start, but it came back as i hit 10-15 mph's. The next day I was going to drive my car to get some transmission fluid, and the car wouldnt go into reverse to leave. When i put it in reverse and give it gas, the engine just rev's. What did i do, and how much is it going to cost to fix. I just got a job as a poker dealer and need my car back by this weekend :(

Why were you going to get transmission fluid? Is there a leak?

boy oh boy, automatic transmission problems
when it comes to tranny's if your not a mechanic or familiar with tranny's
then you might be putting out a lot of money
of course there is many other ways to go about fixing it that my be cheaper.
