what is wrong with my celica? Options

[Celicagt1995]

For a while my celica has been too slow. This is what happens.

When Im in the freeway going at 60 mph, I step all the way on the gas and it takes about 10 seconds to git 70 mph.

When Im going at 40 on the road it takes 7 seconds to hit 60 mph.

Before it use to take around 9 sec 0 - 60 mpg now Im not sure.

Another thing when i hit the gas the rpm goes from 2.5 to 4.5. Before it use to go all the way between 5 and 6.

I think this is a problem with the transmission but Im not sure. (its an auto)

One thing that might have something to do with this is that a while ago i was racing and i put my transmission on L2 and the rpm went to redline and the car felt like braking. (bouncing)

What do you think is wrong.

It does sound like you tranny is slipping a little. From what you typed you beat on that car. Automatics & manuals on camry/corolla/celica engines are not made to be pushed to the limit in it's stock form. Check your tranny fluid levels. Does it take more than 1 second to get into gear when you put it in "D" ? I recommend to drive your car very easy and not push the accelerator to far. Your tranny is proberly in the early stages of taking a crap.
