    let me see if im getting it... on a dry road from takeoff... you hit 2500 rpms and then acceleration stopped? your TOD read 3 bars in the front and you heard your rear wheels spin?

    I had a similar problem after a transmission oil change. They did not filled it up enough so the transmission started slipping. Please check the transmission oil level and/or consider change it. Hope this solves the issue.

    Wow, It seems like the transmission just let go and then grabbed again, hard enough to spin some wheels. Did you feel a hard slamming sensation before you heard the tire spinning noise? Did it feel like it would if you had physically put it into neutral and then back into drive while accelerating?

    Could be that the tires were in a little gravel or something that got them spinning, or the transmission really did slip.

    Are you sure you don't have 3 inches of snow like we do around here?
    If you don't first THINK THINK, you could end up in deep DO DO!

    Could have been a PCM glitch. There have been threads about that in the past.

    Yeah, does it feel like your just slamming gears inbetween 2nd and 3rd? I would definitely say you should check/change your trans fluid and filter. That would be an easy start anyhow.

    i had that happen once i was coming up a bridge and when i went over a metal joint on the bridge i guess the wheels didnt grip it as well so the tod freaked for a second.. sounds like yours has had this problem more than once though.. id start with havin the transmission looked at since you had trouble with your trans leaking before... if you search for joe blacks how to on changing the transmission fluid (ATF) he shows where the fluid level check is located on the transmission, which is just a bolt, you could check that and see if its full as a first step
