Question : automatic seems to go into nutral as im just driving?
i just put a cat back on my car, and was told that my cat was clogged, im waiting to order a new high flow cat, but in the mean time i was just driving and my car felt like it was trying to stop it self as i was just coasting. and also it reved on its own almost like it was changing gears on its own. granted i know automatics do it on their own but i was just slow driving about 40 mph and the rpm’s jumped sometimes almost to redline. then it went back to normal. later on in the day i was driving the same way and the rpms reved and i pushed the gas and rpms jumped with the gas but car would not move. then it came back and drove normal. got to where i was going and checked the tranny fluid and it smelt like shit, and was like brown. i just had my tranny rebuilt not even a year ago. my warranty is up i think, but i needed to get home and on my way home same thing but it was in (nutral) for longer so i pulled over and then started again it went and then did the same thing again. wtf
rpm home warranty

sounds like the tranny is burnt, probably a bad rebuild if it didn’t last a year
Check the fluid level (this is done with the car idling.) It sounds like it is low. This is not good if it is. It may have burnt it up. If the fluid is dark and stinks then it is too late.
