This only happens when trying to drive forward-about 70% slippage.In REVERSE the car is fine!My son was driving car last week and knocked it into reverse,then quickly put it into drive again.Unrelated or not-just all the info I can share . Wouldn't CLUTCHES slip both directions if failing?I'll work on car this weekend but other than visual inspection yielding nothing-am I junking the old beast?TIA and a GOOD WEEKEND TO ALL > mark

Reverse is run by a different set of clutches than the forward gears. You probably had bad lip seals of the clutch pistons, or the clutches have fianlly worn out. A soft overhaul is indicated.
