tranny is probably shot and needs a rebuild. you may luck out and a transmission filter and fluid change may help. but ultimately you may need a rebuild.

yup your clutch packs are heavily burned. rebuild is the only real way to fix it a service will probably only last a few tousand miles then it will start acting worse than before... i went threw the same thing with my 95 GL... then i rebuild the tranny and all was good agian... but i still shot it and got an escort.. (american mini muscle rules!!!)
