Hi Creeg,
Your experience is similar to mine...i would say almost identical. My mechanic told me that the transmission is starting to slip.......and he suggested me that a transmission job may have to be done...(around 3000)......did you check this issue with any mechanic?.......I just want to make sure that is the problem before I spent that kind of money....but he is going to put a fluid on saturday...i will get the name of it. He said it may slow down the slippery problem but in the long run , I will need to do the fixing of the transmission.
