It’s hard to tell from this distance. Can you park the car a little closer to the computer?  
**;-))**

Seriously, however, you need to tell us a few things, such as:

> What you found when you checked the transmission fluid. (Level, color, odor)  
> The maintenance history of this transmission. (If the answer is “none”, or “I don’t know”, then anything up to replacement/rebuilding is possible.)  
> The model year of your Chevy, and its engine type.  
> Whether any warning lights are lit up on your instrument panel.
