Thanks, spook. I have considered the trannie, especially after my wife claimed that she saw the tach go up without the speed going up. I'm still skeptical on this possibility and want to check it out myself. Since the problem only occurs intermittently, it's hard to duplicate conditions and watch the tach. For example, when I asked my wife (it's her daily driver) how the car was yesterday, the reply was "no problems."

The trannie fluid was flushed about a year ago, BUT, it was in response to almost a chocolate milk appearing fluid that I attributed to a rubber trannie cooler hose breaking down. I ran 10-12 quarts through. Inspection of the fluid a few days ago revealed fairly normal looking stuff. One possibility still though - maybe some gunk gets sucked into the trannie filter and impedes flow. Still seems like it should occur regularly, though, and not intermittently. I plan to move to synthetic fluid soon, and when I do I'll change the filter at the same time.
