Can you be more specific about what it is doing?

Personally, I would bet that the transmission is slipping and needs to be rebuilt or replaced. I am attaching Prodemand's information concerning checking the transmission fluid. Go ahead and do that. Maybe we will get lucky and the fluid level will be a little low.
