2k2 auto tranny help

Was wondering if anyone could help

When I accelerate with more than 1/4 throttle the gears slip between 1st and 2nd, followed by a big bang when it finally gets into gear. Less than 1/4 throttle and it doesn't (or i just can't feel it). I noticed it will do this when i wind 3rd gear out too. (100+mph) I don't do it often but when I do there is a second or two before the gears shift from 3rd to 4th.

The max has 63k miles and the tranny fluid has been flushed every 15k, the last one a month ago. Is it time for a new tranny? I have an extended warranty so if i do it's not a big problem. anyone with any ideas?

I've noticed a very sloppy 3-4 shift followed by a light bang when I wound mine out once. My car has 58k miles but that was probably about 15-20k miles ago. Keep us posted.

It's prbs going soon. The same thing happened to me a couple days before it refused to go into reverse -- a sure sign the tranny is dead. Get the dealer to check it out.
