Sign of tranny going out?

Well i just got my car fixed, for past threads it was my radiator causing my cooling problems and a cracked dis. cap causing my skipping also got a tuneup which cost me right at $700, but neways im having ANOTHER problem. my mom owned this car for 11 years and only replaced the alternator and when i get it in tha last year iv spent like 1500 or more on repairs,i guess im trouble prone lol. but anyways i was going down the road the other day and noticed every few hills i came to the car would slightly shake a bit, and then i noticed when i got off the accelorator when going b-t like 55 to 75 mph the rpm's would kinda go up and down by about 100 and would do it 3 or 4 times till i either hit the brake or the accelorator, could this be a sign of my 143k mile 93 gxe tranny biting the dust? or could this be related to something my mechanic could have done? my symptoms just started the day i got my maxi back

My car has 143,000 miles the past 2 days my car would change from 2 to 5 gear or just stay on first, yesterday it ran find But today when i got to work it was running find. at the end of the day the car did not want to turn on, all i can hear is wyning and feel the moving of the engine (but nothing) beside this, the car just starded to overheat. some people told me is the overheating problem,some people tells me is the fuel rail thats why i have trans. problem. and i think is the tranny to be fix and thermo.to stop overheating. please any suggestion tell me. need help! beside i just bought a 90 maxima for $400. for parts it runs good.it has 287.000 miles.
