For about 10 mins and it was fine for a min then the sameproblem.

Transmission fluid color? Dark red with lots of black particles in it (they show up on paper towel) could mean clutch disks in transmission are very worn. Tranny fluid that is very dark and smells like a burned coffee pot is also a sign of worn disks inside.

Ever change tranny fluid and filter? Even check fluid level?

A breaker yard might be able to sell you a used tranny.

Here in the States we have products that add to tranny fluid to help this for a while, one is Lucas Transmission Fix. No relation to Lucas - Lord of Darkness electrical products.
