if the rpms drop with the speed, it may be transmission and it may be engine. the rpm drop from first to second gear is very large in the 700R4, it leads to a bog in some engines. which is most noticeable at low rpms. The transmission may be fine, but the rpm drop from 1st to 2nd may be highlighting a beginning engine problem. so thats something to look into. check your air fuel and spark to make sure everything is fine. perhaps you are due for a tuneup.

If the rpms go up while the car is slowing down, you may have a burned up clutchpack, or the sunshell like 92rs25th suggested. or some other internal fault.

Tranny work is really expencive and hard to do, so i would look at the engine as a starting point, also because the clutchpacks for the second gear are shared by the 1st gear, so if you loose one, you should have lost the other as well.

i have just gave the car a tune-up so thats done...it seems that at the beginning of second its almost like the rpms are too low and the car doesn't like it..lol...maybe its normal....it seems low rpms bogs the car down....but the rpms are just low at the beginning of second...i don't know what it is.....
