No acceleration at all after 20 mph. I have to put the car to "2" (2nd gear) to drive. Do you guys think i need a transmission rebuild ?

1) how much parts+labor does a rebuild cost ?
2) would that be cheaper to get a tranny from junk yard and pay labor for installation ?

KA24E does not have transmission filter. So would a transmission flush help solve the problem ?

Thanks !!
If you can, try the flush. otherwise could be time for a rebuild. Almost sounds like the first gear clutches are bad...which would also affect reverse i believe. But if you can afford it (time and money) try the flush first....it can sometimes buy you some time.
