OK fellows.

If he can "keep the revs very high" and the vehicle will only go 20 mph, it's not a fuel starvation issue. Now, if he can't get it to rev, that's a different story. So, I conclude that it's not fuel filters.

If it drives perfectly fine for the first minute and then won't move, it sounds like the fluid must be very low in the trans. Just enough to engage the clutches until all the fluid is distributed and the pan runs dry??


How have you checked the fluid? With the engine shut off? Or, with it running? This could provide some insight.
