Re: Possible tranny problem ????

So I'm going slowly (about 20-30 miles per hour), and I usually, not always, have just come around a turn. I accelerate on the pedal. I don't floor it, but I'm not feathering it either. I'm giving it gas like normal. Suddenly, the engine finds ALL this horsepower, the car takes off like a rocket (as if I hit a NOS button), the RPM's go high, and then the car almost peels out like it was changing gears (like my Chevelle does), then backs down and continues accelerating normally as if nothing had happened 
I'm thinking it must be that the tranny not grabbing the right gear ratio, choosing one higher, but the difference between torque between the two is HUGE.
Anyone else experienced this or know what its doing ???? Anyone know what to do ????
For info purposes, I have 36K on the car, have had the tranny serviced at the dealer already, and I think (but can't remember) if it was doing that before the service.
