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.

Remember my "loss of power....Briefly thread.."
a fuel restriction does act like this.....even though my problem was the shut off solenoid was artificially partially restricting fuel due ot a restriction in the crankcase ventilation.
A set of filters are cheap......low or high trans fluid won't keep the engine from reving...or making enough power to go more than 20 MPH.....
low fluid would lead to trans slipping and being way too free to rev...due to slipping clutches..
The canister filter will hold enough fuel to let it go for brief periods at more than idle, the inability to feep up with fuel consumption would leed to the power loss......
$15 will prove thats not the issue. Of course checking the trans fluid of course cost nothing but I bet its fine.
