I have problem in AUTO TRANSMISSION with my Kia Carnival 2003, when i start the car the trans works properly and gears shift smoothly but when speed up to 30 KMPH the gears slips and stuck. When i stop at the signal or drive long way its not shifting the gear nor its shifting back to start.

Please help.
