Put vehicle in drive and goes fwd. Put into reverse takes awhile to get into gearbut eventually makes it. Back into drive now a little sluggish. And want go no more than 18mph and stuck in second.
By any chance that it maybe a sticky valve body?
Or dirty filter? Fluid looks pretty ok. It was purchase used, and I personally dont think the filter was ever change. Most people think u not suppose to chang them. And also a clunk whenever switchin from D to R. But motor mounts look pretty good. I'm gonna let it cool off an check again

HI there, the transmission should be serviced regularly including the filter, get this done first.
