Possible Tranny issue-Please need advice

ok so my car has about 120k on it and the tranny oil was changed around 90k. Now i noticed as im driving sometimes and( by the way my car is automatic),while the gear is in 2nd or 3rd sometimes it would kind of diengage and the rpm would jump to about like 4 or 5 due to my foot being on the gas pedal. This issue started happening about a week ago while my engine mounts were broken but all mounts and tranny mouns were changed. The car drives fine sometimes and if i punch the gas pedal from a dead stop while the gear is switching from 1st to 2nd its kind of a couple sec delay. Im jus hoping i dont need a new tranny and im thinking of taking the car to the dealer to change the oil one last time to see if that would help.
Any sugeestions plz help thanx.

I will assume no warranty.

Search around for some threads on the 3rd and 4th clutch/gear pressure switches - $100 ordered online and about 3 minutes to change. Also, search for some threads that recommend different tranny fluid in the car - Redline and AMSoil come up a bunch, but I use Mobil 1. I recommend changing the tranny filter too - they are usually pretty disgusting. Do these things one at a time so that you can see which one made the difference.

My 2004 was sloppy, but with new switches, clean filter and different fluid, it is pretty tight. My 2006 was never sloppy and still isn't with the same stuff. They are at 100 and 80K

30K is a long way to go on Acura Z1 fluid in an older (think worn) transmission. I will take some crap for suggesting it, but I wouldn't leave the Z1 in for more than 15K at that mileage.
