Default Transmission
Days ago, seemed like transmission was slipping. Then, the other day, upon starting from a stop light I felt a shutter from the transmission. At home I checked the fluid level, and it read OVER full. It has never been over full. Now it slips very badly and will not gain enough speed to get out of 1st gear. I am thinking torque converter. Any help would be appreciated.
