Here is the results of test-drive:
lever position in 1 - O.K.
lever position in 2 - it shifts from 1 - 2 at just under 2000 RPM.
at 6000 RPM the speed of the car is 70 MPH.
lever position in 3 - it shifts from 1 - 2 at just under 2000 RPM
right after 2000 RPM it's slipping and the next gear won't engage. at 6000 RPM the speed is 50 MPH.
lever position in D - it shifts from 1 - 2 at just under 2000 RPM
right after 2000 RPM it's slipping until 4500 RPM , then it shifts to 3rd , and at 6000 RPM the speed is about 90 MPH.
Any idea ?

Hi Alex, It does look like the band is slipping. If it is OK in 3rd, then the high clutch is OK, so it must be the band.
It can be adjusted from outside the box, about 1 hour job.
Depending how long it has been slipping. and how much the oil smells burnt, it may save it
Are you sure that it is an US model? To be sure, as the box is different between the two, check the fuse box under the hood. The bottom right hand cornor, 2nd from the bottom "10 Amp FWD" for the US model, or " 10 Amp Diff Lock" for the Euro.
