I would have to get the RPM up to about 2500 to get it moving. Then about an hour later when I was about to drive somewhere else the problem got way worse, 6000RPM to get moving. Then I knew that this problem was way too big for me to handle and am now looking for help/suggestions from other forum members.

I don't know very much about how to go about fixing things of this nature but here are some things of importance:

1. Engine starts up and runs perfectly fine, revs normally with no odd noise.

2. Reverse works normally as well

3. When I shift to D I don't feel anything, like it's still in Neutral.

4. 221k miles (I know, a lot)

I don't know what any of this means, common sense just leads me to thinks its a transmission problem, probably serious.

I'm not entirely sure a rebuild will be worth it on this car
