Default automatic transmission problems

My friend is having trouble with his auto. The higher the rpm, the more his transmission slips. It pulls hard till about 3600, starts slipping, then when it reaches 4-4400 rpm it will just let go all together. He said it feels like it's fighting something then completely lets go & acts like it's in neutral until he lets off the gas. His fluid was pink back in april, now it's a very dark color. He also said when it's getting ready to shift to 2nd & he punches it, it acts like it's trying to stay in first, but can't. He said he used to be able to do WOT shifts at 50mph & chirp the tires, but he only did that twice. After that he couldn't do it anymore & it keeps getting worse & worse.

Any ideas?

yep it needs a tranny.When something involving slipping starts to happen its over.No tranny shop in the world will take in a auto and try to fix something stupid they are going to rebuild it no matter what.There isnt many things that it can be other than a worn tranny
