When I increase speed at around 20-35 mph...the rpm increases to 2-3 rpm.....It seems the car is having trouble.When the speed increases after that point it seems to be fine. After I shut off the car. I smell burning rubber......any ideas?

Make sure the trans fluid is full. If it is, have it checked by a trans mechanic. It sounds like the clutches are slipping.

Let me know what you find.
