Default trans question?

I have a 01 ss with a 4l60e transmission my car has 50,000 miles on it and my car is starting to slip when it shifts. Does this mean that my tranny is starting to go, im trying to figure out how much longer it will last. Would it be worth it to get a rebuild get and just redo the tranny?

Did you check your tranny fluid,does it smell burnt? Maybe try changing the fluid, filter.

The 4L60E cannot handle slip like an older TH350, if the 4L60 is slipping...it's got very little time left.

I have a 1998 Z with the 4L60E, the other day I mashed the gas at about 50 MPH it kicked down and took off like normal but at around 80 when it went to go back to OD it hit the rev limiter and wouldnt shift, I tossed it in neutral to avoid damaging anything. I checked the tranny fuild and everything seemed fine. I was curious to see if this was a one time thing so I tried it a few more times and it only went back to OD 1 out of 3 more times. So I turned off the AC and did it twice more and it worked fine. Was this caused by the AC or do I have a tranny problem?

also: I noticed my gas gauge and my speedo move at the same speeds, in opposite directions.
