Your automatic trans is probably going bad. 98-02 v6 auto transmission are junk. They all go bad. A lot of the time they start out by shifting a little late, and when starting from a stop it slips a little, then just grabs making the car peel wheels. They also will start chirping second gear really hard. Then next thing you know it, the trans starts shifting really late...
