Hello Experts!

I hope you can give me a better insight on the issue with my vehicle. I am leaning towards transmission, but hope some one here might know for sure or have experienced the same issue.

Specs:

• 2004
• ~200,000 miles
• V6, EX model, automatic

Scenario:
At times, when I accelerate from a full stop, it will go and usually about ~30-40 mph it will stop accelerating and "rev" the engine as if I put it in neutral. I will see my RPMs spike up to 5-6 because I am trying to accelerate. I have to let off of the gas pedal and let it coast for a few seconds (since I cannot accelerate) and then when I try to accelerate again, it will then go. I do not hear any grinding noises or any other weird sounds. The power to the car is still active when this happens, but I just cannot accelerate until I let it "rest" a few seconds before trying again. If I quickly turn off my car (while still coasting) and turn it back on after a few seconds, it will start to work again. I have tried it in the other gears (1, 2, D3) and the problem is still present in those as well. This doesn't happen all the time, but there is definitely an issue with the auto and I don't feel safe driving it around until I get it fixed. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Your transmission is dead.

Damn...I had a feeling it might be.
