    Thats what was happening with my t700 mate, would rev right out in first then would let off and it would hit 2nd and had all wierd slipping problems. I tryd a filter and oil change but was a no go, and had to get it re-built.

    Ild give it a service with some good transmission oil and replace the filter, if that dont fix it maybe take a drive/tow to your local transmission bloke and ask for his opinion. If you infact need a rebuild you will be looking at $1600+, though would be a lot cheaper just to get a 2nd hand one from forums/ebay/wreckers

    gave it a service with new filter, oil and a bottle of nulon trans treatment and it works the way it should now.
    always try the cheaper fixes first if youre not sure what that problem is exactly
