Tranny Slipping?

I have a strange problem with my 2000 Max it has 30k miles on it also

Okay so a few months back I noticed in the morning when I barely would step on the gas it would react like I floored it. It has been getting worse mainly when its cold in the morning..

So now this is what it does I barely step on the gas and it revs up like I slammed the gas then it downshifts in a jerking movement while making a loud noise the whole time -- kinda like im slamming it while shifting gears.. I have an Automatic also

The dealer did a 100 point inspection recently and found no problems but again I am not sure if they really looked at the car or not..

Anyways what should I do??? Any suggestions??

Drive around, and watch the shifts. If there is a lag from 1-2, 2-3, or 3-4, its beginning to slip.

check the oil level.. and do a flush if it looks dirty. Follow the link on my Sig to do it yourself. Also it could be the solenoids.... if you are under warranty take it to the dealer......
