All in all start with the basics on the engine do a filter and fluid change on the transmission.

Anytime I buy a used car I do all fluids and a fresh top to bottom tune up atleast then ya know it's done and your good for awhile anyhow.

Most 95+ vehicles have a lock up clutch in the tq converter thus making it easier on the trans and easier drive ability. When it's engaged you will get all the power a converter is meant to slip in stop and go when cruising the lock up clutch will engage. If it's lockzing and unlocking its cause a buck and usually a whine/ vibration.

No whine or vibration, this is more like a lurch or pothole

Let's say you are in 4th and it's at 2k well then it drops rpm a few hundred that is lock up. Let's take my gold truck for example it's got a 3200 stall converter i have it setup in the computer to not lock in 1-2 partially lock in 3rd under 75% throttle and full lock in 4th. Slipping a transmission is what it is basically doing until it fully locks up.

I understand now thanks. Mine happens very random

Sounds like transmission to me. Once they start going that’s when people sell em. I sold my Jeep when it started too. Lol I told them the trans was going though so they definitely knew it. Same thing though it would skip at take off sometimes and sometimes at highway speed.

you can check the throttle position sensor too.

Very well could be aswell as the crank position sensor and camshaft position sensor too. Time to break out the multimeter and check em.

I hope it ain't the transmission
