Transmission Slipping

[HeckaTrebeka]

My transmission just started doing this. Yesterday, as I was pulling out into a rather busy road, the guy in front of my was moving very slow. I was moving slowly as well because of this. all of a sudden, my RPMs went up to 3k without gaining any speed!! I pulled into the nearest side road and stopped, then hit the gas again and it was back to normal. I will be checking my trans fluid today.. I'm freaked out now, and will probably have to pay for a trans rebuild... D: I only have 102k miles!!!

I have to put fluid into mine every few months...it's leaking, but aside from tranny fluid on the ground, it shifts great.
I've never delt w a Tranny...

(insert your fav. gender bender joke here!)

Can you replace seals, or is it a complete rebuild once you get it off the truck...?

If your leaking fluid probable causes are the shift switch gasket (on drivers side of trans) or the pan gaskets.
