When did this start happening? You mean you can go fast in reverse? Does motor speed up alright in neutral/park?

So what happens when you push on gas? Is transmission slipping? Describe what happens exactly in detail.

No, filter works ok in reverse so that's not it. When you try to go forward, does engine rev up high like in park?
