    Engine or Tranny issues

    I've got an 87 automatic ETA.

    The transmission and torque converter were just replaced not even 4 months ago. Now when I drive the car it won't move unless you give it 10% throttle or less. When i push the accelerator down further it just revs like its in neutral and barely moves. It almost feels like a slipping clutch but its an automatic.

    Any ideas?

    Internal clutches are gone or it's low as hell on fluid.

        I checked the fluid level an all seemed alright. The car wasn't warmed up and I wasn't really on a level surface. I'll check it again tonight.
