Transmission problems.
This is diffacult to explain so bear with me.
I am able to rev the engine like its in neutral in all 4 gears(I only press down the gas about 1/2 way and it jumps all the way to redline). The car moves slowly in all the gears, it moves faster in 1st. I am revving it to 4 grand in 1st and only able to move 20 mph. Anyone have any clue what is going on? Thanks.

I have no idea how many miles are on the transmission because it was swapped in with a 350 from a previous owner and I don't know how many miles it has. The car itself has 160k miles on it. I didn't hear a big clunk or anything when it occured 2 days ago.
I checked the fluid levels and the ATF was brownish in color. I put some more fluid in because it was low and the tranny started to act better but not alot. It was shifting really well just 2 days ago before this happened. I was just cruising at 45 in 3rd and then the problem occured. The tranny never slipped before at all. So yes I was thinking the TC was the problem but I need someone else's input.
