The Problem

- It doesnt seem to have that juice anymore, i would need to really press the Gas pedal for it to at least pick-up the speed on the highway. Most of the time, i have to press on the Power switch (from Econo) to get the pull I had before with Econo. It drives like the handbrake was on

- On city driving, the idle suddenly drops when i release the gas and i can definitely feel the speed drop just like i stepped on the brakes. While breaking on slow speeds, (from 30kph) i can defintiely feel the tranny down-shifts

- overall highway speed is also affected. before, at 2000rpm i should be at 100kph, but now, it needs to be in 2300rpm before i get the same speed. 3000rpm also used to give me 140kph, now it only runs at around 130kph at the same idle.

- i do get the occasional slipping (overrev) while running at highspeed.

What has been done:

- drain old fluid and cleaned the filter (my worry is, was the wrong fluid used before? they only placed 3 liters af ATF, should that be enough?)

I have a strange feeling its my tranny failing becuase the idle of the engine when in neutral picks-up just fine. Sobrang sakal lang ang power which eventually consumes more gas than usual...

Can you recommend a good shop? Do engine scanners and enginge diagnostics get A/T problems too?
