By any chance, did the fluid leak out again? Also, do you hear the noise from the trans or the engine reving when it doesn't shift? Finally, has the check engine light come on?

First, have the computer scanned for trouble codes. Most parts stores will do it for free. Also, it sounds like the trans is slipping. If the trans fluid is full and clean, I need to wait to hear what codes show up to make a determination.

Have that done and let me know what you find.
