The TCC (torque converter clutch) is not releasing.
When the car shifts into 3rd, it will (at a certain speed) "shift" again, or feels like a shift. This is the torque converter lock up. It drops rpm by 300-400. And will save a few gallons of gas.
There is a small 4 prong weather pak connector on the side of the trans. Usually white, pink or blue. You can disconnect this and it will prevent the TCC from locking up. This should solve the immediate problem.
They can be replaced (in most cases) without removing the trans.
