You've probably burnt/distorted the clutches - check your trans oil and it probably will be brown/black and smell burnt. Sometimes an oil and filter change/flush will fix this problem temporarily and will cost about $80 DIY, whereas changinbg the trans is hard work unless you have a hoist. As Brett says, if the pins match, the ser 1 trans should be OK.
