Transmission issue

I'm having an issue with the transmission in the m1009. When its cold, it'll shift and move. As soon as it warms up, it wont shift at all. When its warm, the engine just revs and nothing happens. If I manually shift it, nothing happens either. If i let it cool down, it will shift again but only until it warms up. I checked and replaced the rubber hose at the vacuum modulator, and the fluid level is fine and it is a nice pink color and doesn't smell burnt. Only thing I can think is that it needs to have a new filter put in. Any other suggestions?

I don't know if it matters or not, but there is some fluid that spits out the vent on top, I don't know if that means the pump is pumping and the filter is clogged?

Fluid level is OK and the fluid is not burnt. Either your pump is bad or your seals are toast. You can check the transmissions pressure for a bad pump, but really either way you need a total rebuild. You can replace the filter, and if your living right it might be the problem but I wouldn't count on it.
