95 cavalier 3 speed trany slipping! nooo

[finalturismo]

hey on my 95 cavalier my transmission is slipping it just started today it never slipped befor it always shifted extreamly good and always slammed into gear but now when i was on the highway i floored it and it was bouncing of the limiter in drive and wouldent upshift and finally it did after about 2 min. so i dont know whats wrong.... i checked my trany fluid and there is this black shit in my tranny fluid.... is this a major problem or a clogged transmission filter or what?

so...... i dont think i quite understand this, lets say your driving along doing, oh, lets say 45mph, and you floor it, it obviosly shifts into a different gear for more throttle response, well when you let off the accelerator it just stays in that gear and doesnt shift back??????????

[finalturismo]

no ok when i floor it when it goes to down shift it goes in nutral and red lines for a sec than drops down a gear.... and when i was putting it in reverse today it took like 4 sec for it to go in gear

ok basicly it takes 5 times longer to shift into a different gear

GO have your tans filter and gasket replaced. Then have the transmission fuly flushed by a machine (T-Tech)

I would definitly do a tranny flush and filter and quick its worth roughly 100 dollars but if you dont your more then likely looking at a bill of 3000 dollars or upward of that to replace that tranny until i did that if i was you i would drive the car using the upmost care and caution trust me man dont beat it
