Transmission problem
1988 Chevy Celebrity 6 cyl Automatic 286000 miles

My Celebrity has a big problem. I press the gas pedal to the floor while in drive and the engine revs as if it were in neutral.I've had it for about 3 months, but I have driven it before. It needs to be kept running to get the engine hot or it won't change gears. Now, every time i stop or slow down, I have to hope that it decides to go to the next gear. Thanks in advance
