Transmission problem
1998 Ford Escort Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 1998 ford escort lx, For some reason after I put any gas in it *full or not* the transmission slips badly. It mostly happens on a turn, and sometimes just giving it gas to go up a hill....Now the thing that i dont get is that after about 20miles it stops acting up. Any clue of whats going on?? Oh and i dont know much about cars, so go easy on me. lol

Thanks on the tips, i will get to that, tomorrow i am going to replace all filters and possibly the fuel pump, a couple of friends told me to check all that out before i end up spending for a new trans....Does anyone know how much it would cost for a complete engine rebuild?? Anyway of getting around it really cheap?
