While on vacation, we were driving slowly, looking at a lake on a gravel road, as we started up a small hill, the van reved up, and began slowing down. It rolled to a stop and did not move again. We had to be towed to the nearest town, we were informed we needed a new tranny. Had to rent a car. Found out the repair shop did not have all the equipment to flush the transmission cooling system, and had to have it towed again to a transmission shop. The tranny shop said we could get by with a torque convertor, and repaired it.
