Re: tranny prob?
I don't know the answer but my experience has been engine problems on the freeway can feel like tranny problems. I'm betting it's not the tranny. Sounds like a fuel delivery issue.

Re: tranny prob?
I agree it does not sound like a tranny issue.
Rarely see fuel being an issue at speed.
Hows your ignition system, when was the last time the plugs and wires were changed?

Re: tranny prob?
They are still suspect and should be checked out, use an ohm meter on the plug wires and a visual of the plugs including checking the gaping.

Re: tranny prob?
Clean or replace the MAF. I had the same issure two weeks ago... almost feels like the car dosn't know which gear it wants to be in at higher speeds, and wants to die from a start. Replaced MAF, took care of issure. Snap on scan tool showed that when the roughness was there, the MAF was actually showing like 76000 hz. then drop to 0 for a moment. Never set a check engine light.
