The transmission is slipping when accelerating from a stop. It slips for a couple of seconds and then it engages and there is a klunk sound and a hit on the power train as the transmission stops slipping quickly. At first, it was worst when the car was cold but it's progressively getting worst from a temperature point of view. It's happening more now when the car is warmer. No maintenance has ever been done on the transmission. The fluid has never been changed. As I recall, there has always been a bit of that type of thing but it was rare and not as noticeable as it is now. Is it likely that flushing the transmission and changing the fluid might help or is it better to just take it into a transmission place.
