Oh dear...

From the little bit I could understand, it sounds like your transmission is dying. You could try to change out the ATF to see if that buys you some more time, but it's failing at the moment.

fluid is supposed to be red or pink

fluid thats brown is burned and not lubricating

you can try a 3.5 qt drain and refill but its a band-aid at best now
thats a lot of kms ona TL trans if it makes you feel better!

when you press the gas slowly it allows the clutches to grip and hold rpm to accelleration

when they are worn and you ask for more power and grip--they slip, the rpm goes up, the trans bangs into gear etc

You could try to change teh fluid to see if it helps but there is no guarantee that it will fix the issue.
