Does This Mean My Tranny Is Shot?!

About two days ago, I was driving and when it (01 auto CLS) shifted gears it just stalled and the RPMS went SKYROCKETING!! so i let off the gas and let the rpms go back down and then it gave a SLIGHT jerk and went back into gear. Oh, i thought it was just a slip...so i was driving to school today and my car stalled and i had to pull over slow down then SLOWLY accelerate. mind you i was NOT W.O.T. when this happened. Even if i was, it still shouldn't have happened. So i went down to local acura dealership and made an appt. On my way back home, I figured out what it was...As long as a accelerate EXTREMELY slow from a dead stop it won't do it to me....AND i have to be in SS mode and when i shift i have to let go of gas to let RPM's go down...Is it something as simple as "TRANSMISSION FLUID"? or is my whole tranny DONE?!
