I have a 2002 Xterra. When I start to drive the RPMs go up to and past 3000 before it shifts gears. This happens for all gears. If it starts to go past 3000 RPM and I let off the gas pedal, it the slips into gear. Any ideas on what it could be? I plan on taking it to my mechanic soon.

Anytime I hear about an automatic tranny slipping my 1st thought always goes to the torque converter and then eliminate things from there. So thats where I would start.

What is your fluid level and condition, does it smell burnt? If everything there checks out, then start at TC, then clutch disks, then valve body. The last two should really be done by an experienced mechanic
