Hello, two things, is the check engine light on, and did you check the transmission fluid level?

I am having the exact same problem between 35-45 mph. There are no warning lights on and all fluid levels are fine. My mileage is only 35,000. Any ideas on what to have a mechanic look at?

Have you checked the condition of the fluid? Does it have a burnt smell?
