First, try checking the transmission fluid. If it appears brown or smells burnt, have it flushed. If it's low, top it up. Remember, start the car, shift through all the gears, and then check it in park. If that doesn't fix it, you'll have to have it repaired by a qualified mechanic.

If the transmission is slipping on your Cadillace Seville SLS, it could mean that your transmission is failing and may need to be replaced. The best thing to do is take it to a Cadillac dealership to have a teardown completed so the problem can be diagnosed.

Cadillac parts are normally just GM or Chevy parts with a different name, so if the trans is slipping and you want a new one, its easy/cheap to find.

First thing is to check the fluid level. Warm the car up to operating temperature and, with the engine running, check the dipstick. Anything more will require a shop.

Your best option would be to take your car to a transmission specialist. A transmission fluid flush and refill may help. Also try changing the filter. A bit more expensive, but more likely to solve your problem, would be to have the bands tightened. If it comes down to it, there are always junkyards.

You need to take it in to have it fixed. A professional would know how to fix it. You may need a new one. Or a rebuilt one. You should have a professional look at it, because I don't think you can fix it on your own. Or go get a manual for the car to fix it.
