Check the transmission fluid.
You should check to see the fluid level, color (should be red – if it is brown of grayish, this indicated internal problems; usually from deteriorating clutches) and the smell of the fluid (if it smells burned this could indicate that the fluid is overheating – which will deteriorate the clutches).
