about a month ago i replaced a starter on my 92 plymouth acclaim,next morning it ran fine on the way to the car wash were i gunked down the engine,and transmission, and then sprayed it off real good with the high pressure hose, well when i left the transmission started slipping so i thought maybe it was low on fluid so i stopped to check it ,well to my surprise the dip stick to the transmission was up about an inch, i guess on of the battery cables caught it as i was replaceing the starter!i changed the filter and fluid once then 6took it for an 8hr.round trip,it ran like a new car.the next morning and every morning since i have to lay on the gas with it in reverse or drive for a few minutes before it will move,it does fine once i hit 40 miles per hour, but transmission slipping alot,in 1st&2nd gear and stays in 1st to long before switching,
but still runs great from
45-80 mph and will do it all day at those speeds ,do you think if i keep changeing filter and fluid it will get better, have had the car for 2 yrs and have put lots of new parts on it, what do you think the water is the problem, or is my transmission history now?

sound like u have water in ur torque converter...go to jiffylube and get a "t tech" or trany service flush. pan gasket and filter only change 2-3 quarts of 9 quart system. need to change all the tranny oil...after i would just because change the pan gasket and filter again...wouldnt hurt.
