Transmission is slipping?

Hello, my explorer has nothing wrong with the engine and only thing on suspension is a tie rod boot torn. No vacuum leaks either. Here is what it does When taking off from start it will accelerate and when it is changing gears it will rev up suddenly usually only around 3 to 3.5 rpm. As it is revving up it kinda stalls going but when it quits it goes. When you stop after it does this it will slip when stopping like the brakes are slipping. Primarily it only does this in warmer climates and never does it in cold climates. It usually involves a lot of driving to do this too. It will do it once every great now and then. Any ideas what the problem is? The transmission is original with 210000 miles along with the engine.

because you are leaning the engine out and if the engine doesn't run right then neither will the trans work right. Ask any trans guy and they will tell you the same thing.
