Question Really high rpms and surging

My 2001 acura cls 3.2 automatic 6 speed just recently started something new ive had it for about 3 months and its always surging especially while going up hills and recently my rpms are reaching up to a 6 and i know thats not right at all can anyone tell me if they have had the problem or what it most likely is?

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but it is..

The surging is also a problem, albeit unrelated and the least important at this point.

Also it's either 6 Speed manual or 5 speed automatic for the CL's.
