3.8L V6 engine with 4 speed auto and about 93K miles.

I was driving home from work going about 60MPH and accelerating when the transmission suddenly slipped into neutral. As the car coasted down to about 40MPH I found I could accelerate to 45 or 50 and then it would just go into neutral again. There were no warning lights or strange sounds, everything seemed normal. I was able to drive home using back roads where the speed limit is lower. I checked the fluid and it was full.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

how does the transmission fluid look and smell, if it is a rusty color or smells burnt,it could be that the transmission fluid and filter need changing.
