I have a 2001 Chevy Impala. I am trying to figure out why when I take off, it seems to accelerate slow until I finally make it up to 60 mph then it will drive normal. I just have the transmission fluid changed on it. It smelled awful. So now I am trying to find out why the take off is so slow and it seems like the car is gonna stop running or not going to go over 20-30 mph....PLEASE HELP!!!!!
