If you step down and the rpm's goes up but there is no acceleration to go with it you have transmission problems. First thing would be to check the transmission fluid level and condition. Unfortunately this is something you need a special tool for because they did not include a dip-stick on that transmission, as such you may want to just have a shop look at it and give you some quotes on repair/replace/rebuild.
