Umm what mods do you have? Could you have taken your tranny? It looks like you're boosted. It also could be something with your torque converter.

Sounds like the transmission is slipping

If you're pushing quite a bit of power on OEM tranny, it's not going to survive.

Hmm that's most likely not your problem, unless your WG didn't open and you overboosted. Do you have a TC?

I would say something went wrong with that. Whether it be stripped, or who knows. I wouldn't worry about the actual tranny too much, unless like I said, your WG didn't open and you overboosted on accident.

Keep us posted

He's supercharged. Doesnt have a wastegate. And cannot overboost.

I'd say the torque converter is probably the culprit. Do you have an aftermarket transmission cooler installed? If not, then your tranny fluid temps are going to skyrocket when you load the tranny down and more so with a high stall converter.
