Well what te mechanic say??? And I bet its your tranny! You said your fluid was low or damn near empty since you never did a tranny flush or added new oil until now it has had to burn up something. Your car would not catch 2 gear if it wasn't going faster then 10-20 mph. I bet your mechanic will say your tranny is ****ed and he will say go get a used one!

I still say it isnt the tranny. The car wont rev past 2 rpm, the transmission wont do that... I also heard the way it sounds, and does not sound like a slipping transmission or a transmission not catching.

Before I built my drag car, I slaughtered the transmission. Freshly flushed fluid and changed filter 3 times in a week and it would burn in 5 miles every time and I was still able to drive it till 4th gear blew then 3rd gear. and in that case, it was the torque converter getting stuck.

When I heard the video, it reminded me of when my spark plug wires went bad on my first car, it sounds like air fuel isnt igniting.

Sounds like a boat on a lake at long distance and the carburetor gets water in it.
