i left my house earlier today an got about a mile away and when i went to accelerate the car reved but didnt move. I pulled over an shut the car off, waited a few minutes, started it again an put it in gear and it moved. i got up the street and it did it again. and when it did move it was moving slowly, also because i didnt want to hammer the gas and do any further damage. to sum it up. my car revs but doesnt move. i checked the trans fluid an the level was fine. it appeared the normal red color aswell. SOME1 PLEASE HELP!

Thank-you for your previous donation.

It sounds like your transmission or torque converter is slipping under load. You will have to bring your vehicle to a transmission shop and have them look at it. Unfortunately, this doesn't look like a cheap repair bill.
