Slippery tranny: a few questions?
I tried to search the problem I met to keep this forum as organized as possible, but I could not get any answers.
My car is 94 GXE, auto, 138000 miles. I have the tranny rebuilt at 135000 at my local tranny shop. I paid $2300 and got one year or 10000 mile warranty. It seems they did a good job, the more I drove, the smoother the tranny is. However, it seems the tranny is a little slippery. When I have my car checked by them after one week of the rebuilt ( I was asked to do this by them), the guy who checked my car said to himself 'slippery', but I did not realize what he meant.
Later I found: When I accelerate, it seems the car does not speed up as fast as it is supposed to according to the engine speed.
When I park my car uphill, the car will back up when I release the brake without puching the gas.
My questions are:
Is the slippery as I mentioned normal? is this a big problem?
How can I check the slippery?
I want to make sure this could be a problem before I have them checked it.

I'd get the shop to recheck the tranny. If your tranny is slipping after a rebuild, possibly the fluid level is too low or that the brake band is not adjusted properly. Either is gonna cause heat build up & premature failure.
You may also have a blockage in the valve body, cooler lines or radiator. If in the radiator, that's something you're gonna have to get fixed asap. Everything else should be covered under warranty.

because I felt the slippery problem even at cool start, it should not be the problem of cooling, right?
Also, do you have any methods to test slippery? I read in a thread there was a method to test, but I cannot find it now.

If it were me, (and I just had mine rebuilt, too, so I know) I would keep taking it back until you are satisfied. $2300 is a ton of money to spend not to be happy. I spent $1800 on mine recently, and have had it back to them once- about to do it again, since the car "hunts" for which gear to be in at about 45-55 mph.
