Hi, I have a 2001 Hyundai Elantra GT 2.0L 4cylinder (automatic). It has been a little sluggish going up hills and i am notincing that when accelerating ( on a flat road) my RPM will go down for a couple seconds (feels kind of like a dead spot) then go back up. There is fresh transmission fluid in the car. All the fluids were checked and none are low. What can be causing this problem? Please HELP as i hope this is not the trassmission going bad.

Jess

PS. There are no weird sounds or noises coming from the car.
