well yesterday i was driving around and i started to notice as i was driving in 3rd gear (auto) my rpms where just sliding (sliding threw 3rd gear) and once it hit 4th or so it jerks, also in 2nd gear it jumps up and down 500-1k rpm. i added atf and it didnt seem to help. to be honest i do push it a little hard. im not positive if my tranny is fu*king up and my fluid seems to be chery/ a little dark red. any advice would be great, thanks. :]

How many miles are on the car? Have you ever done a trans service (fluid/filter change) to it?

So when you put the used tranny in you did the service to it? If that's the case I'm assuming it's something a little more serious. I'm not all too familiar with all the AT parts though.
