First the rpm was surging and the whole car jerked and then at low speed it just stalled but restarted. It acts like transmission but I drove it like this from port saint Joe to niceville FL (3+hrs) added trans fluid but didnt help any.

This sounds like the engine is misfiring, I would run the codes and do a full tune up to start, when the engine misfires it can seem like the transmission but in reality the engine is to blame. Here is a guide to help run the codes.]

and this guide will help you go over the tune up and I have included instructions for your car in the images below.
