The only way I could keep it from revving on the shift was to wait to drop into 5th until I was literally coasting down the backside of the hill. If you are giving it any throttle at all when you shift it starts wigging out.
I'm hoping that it is a solenoid, shift servo, or something of that nature. I dropped it off with my mechanic last night, will keep this thread updated...
In other news, I started looking at car websites last night just in case. Dangerous...
Thanks for the info. As mentioned previously, fluid first. If that doesn't fix it, then go for sensors/transmission shop.
