Are you trying to say that the tranny is slipping a lot during the 2-3 shift?

How are the 1-2 and 3-4 shifts? How many miles are on the car? How long has it been since the tranny has been serviced? How does the tranny fluid look?

How is the 3-4 shift? Sounds like the trans is going.

[Tru2Chevy]

Is the tranny fluid full? And what condition is it in (what color is it)?

It definetly sounds like the tranny is starting to go.
