Transmission Strainer

[Drastic]

I have a problem and I pray it isn't too serious. Lately the G has been accelerating roughly. When I say that I mean that when I hit about 40-55 mph the rpm's get to where they shift gears but instead of doing it smoothly it goes up so far and then it's like the car isn't pulling at all for a split second and then it jerks into the next gear.

I was talking to a friend today and he told me that it sounded like my transmission strainer because he just recently had the same problem, ignored it, and burned his gears up. Now his car won't even move in reverse and he told me to replace my strainer as soon as possible to avoid serious damage. Does he know what he's talking about? If not, what might be the problem.
Thankx Sincerely for any info.

The transmission fluid is good. Probably a littte to much if anything. If that wasn't the problem though... what next?

what kinda tranny fluid is in there? the fluid might look good. perfect color (still red/pink), still clean, the level is right but if it isn't the right fluid then thats probably the cause of your problems.

Oh well it wasn't pink. It was very dark, almost brown. :? Is that the problem.

change the fluid. you'll know more after you change the fluid. but changing you really help if not fix the problem
