this started out as a major loud squealing from the rear end. now the rear end vibrates and shakes and acceleration is bad. this started yesterday. I have added fluid to the transmission, not over filled. shaking and bumpy driving accompanied by no power on acceleration and the vibration/bumpy shimmy from rear end gets worse on acceleration. gears slip some and shift alot.
