The clutch packs inside the transmission are slipping. This is why your transmission fluid is black all the time. That is clutch material wearing away due to slippage. Time for a new vehicle or a $2000 tranny job/replacement. Get an estimate first.

    The transmission started out jerking into gears, then started slipping, then it felt like the rear wheels were locking up, now it will not go forward or reverse.
