Saturn Vue Red Line, 3.5L V6 Honda motor and Honda 4 speed automatic transmission. At 35 to 40 mph, transmission shifts from a high gear to a low gear, back and forth. Dosen't lock in, RPM'S change around 400, back and forth. Any ideals. Thank You, Richard

A 172,000 miles on the original fluid is death to the transmission. I would say the fluid is black like old motor oil.
