Check the fluid level. Sound's like it's slipping in first gear!! Try changing the fluid and filter and pray.If this does not help it is internal and needs to go to a transmission shop.

If you get under the car and are looking up on the right side of the transmission housing......the long piece the has the axle sticking out of it going to the passenger side wheel. It is on TOP of the transmission there.
Removal:
Raise and support vehicle
Remove bolt retaining speed sensor mounting clip to transaxle.
Remove sensor and driven gear from transaxle.
Disconnect electrical connector and speedometer cable from speed sensor.
Disconnect speedometer cable by pulling it out of speed sensor. Do not attempt to remove spring retainer clip with speedometer cable in sensor.
Remove driven gear retainer, then the driven gear from sensor.
Installation
Position driven gear to speed sensor. Install gear retainer.
Connect electrical connector.
Ensure internal O-ring is properly seated in sensor housing. Snap speedometer cable into sensor housing.
Insert sensor assembly into transaxle housing. Install retaining bolt.
Lower vehicle. Let me know if this help's

You can change the VSS from the top if you take your time and have the right combination of extensions and sockets.
