Transmission works fine until the car has run ten to twenty miles; after that the transmission begins to slip going from one gear to the next.

When was the last time you checked the fluid level or changed the fluid and filter?

rivermiketrat: I have not changed the transmission fluid or filter; should I use an additive to the fluid(Dextron 3)?

No. Not really. Just have it flushed and change the filter.
