Is my tranny turning to crap?

Is this a bad sign for my tranny or just my torque converter? While driving tongiht i was going about 35-40 in D5 and a couple of times it felt like there was no resistance on the accelertor and when i pushed down nothing happed for a few seconds then it caught. I have an 03 TLS and though i might be out of the woods for this problem.

watch your shifts from 1-2 and 2-3 are they delayed? does it ride (like a slipping clutch) as it shifts? thats the biggest sign. its subtle but its a good sign
