I know just enough about cars to be dangerous, but it sounds like you have an issue with your clutch.

Harley, if your tranny is slipping you can try a bottle of Lucas transmission additive. You can get at any auto store and have the tech put it for you. You can't bleed a tranny,LOL only the brakes can be bleed. The additive is only a temp fix if your tranny is really worn out you'll need a new one or a new car. Do not go to Cottman or any other big name transmission shops, they will rip you off big time.

Then it's your clutch that needs replacing. Not a real expensive repair. I have a mechanic friend on the northshore but he only works for cash.

you need to take it to a transmission shop,they will give you a free estimate,it either needs a clutch kit,slave cylinder,or it might have a clutch master cylinder,since you stated that you blead it.but find you a cheap mechanic to fix it,transmission shops will rape you

Anything having to do with a transmission is going to BE a mission to fix! I am pretty mechnically inclined, but that is out of my realm!

First off what kind of car do you have? year, make and model, and is it an Automatic or a manual Transmission? Typically if your transmission is slipping which means the engines revs up high before gear change and it's happening in a Automatic Transmission the problem can be a Clutch Pack, Fluid Pressure Sensor or something wrong with the electronics located in the Valve Body. If your Transmission is Manual Could be the clutch, Tensioner, or Synchronizer gear. I won't quote ya ant prices because I don't do Transmission work. But expect about a 300.00 fee to take out your transmission and diagnose the problem if you have the shop do the work they usually give you a break on that fee and add it into the total cost, each shop varies. Now another tip, GO TO A SHOP THAT DOES NOTHING BUT TRANSMISSION WORK. Why because it takes one hell of a guy to repair, rebuild or install a transmission, especially automatics. If you go to a shop that does an array of mechanic work and they say yea we do some transmission work and they quote you a low price thats what you'll get low price shanty work and in about 30 60-days you'll need a wrecker to tow your car to the shop again. Go to a very reputable Transmission Shop. Ask around, look around check the internet for reviews on various shops. Ball park figure if you need a Total rebuild on your transmission it can range from 1200-2500 bucks. Another tip if you need replacement parts. If you have a GM or Ford Vehicle ask if they use Borg Warner or Transgo after market parts they are rated quite reliable. So hope I've helped ya. Let me know what goes on ok.
