if you havent had a transmission flush done in a very long time, a transmission rebuild will probably cost 800+ depending on the shop and if you know them personally or not. I think all that needs to be replaced is probably the clutch packs correct?

Automatic.. doesnt have a clutch. Get the tranny flush done, but somtimes i have heard this makes it worse but in some cases it makes it better.. Try the tranny flush and if that doesnt work start Saving.. or get a new car cause problems only stem from there.
Unless you are under warentee then Bring it to the dealer and tell them your problems and that you want a new tranny

yes they do have torque convertors, read up on www.howstuffworks.com

Read pages 10,11 on the automatic transmissions. Ill post some direct quotes from the website
The clutches in the transmission are a little more complex. In this transmission there are four clutches. Each clutch is actuated by pressurized hydraulic fluid that enters a piston inside the clutch. Springs make sure that the clutch releases when the pressure is reduced. Below you can see the piston and the clutch drum. Notice the rubber seal on the piston -- this is one of the components that is replaced when your transmission gets rebuilt.
In the last section, we discussed how each of the gear ratios is created by the transmission. For instance, when we discussed overdrive, we said:
In this transmission, when overdrive is engaged, a shaft that is attached to the housing of the torque converter (which is bolted to the flywheel of the engine) is connected by clutch to the planet carrier. The small sun gear freewheels, and the larger sun gear is held by the overdrive band. Nothing is connected to the turbine; the only input comes from the converter housing.
To get the transmission into overdrive, lots of things have to be connected and disconnected by clutches and bands. The planet carrier gets connected to the torque converter housing by a clutch. The small sun gets disconnected from the turbine by a clutch so that it can freewheel. The big sun gear is held to the housing by a band so that it could not rotate. Each gear shift triggers a series of events like these, with different clutches and bands engaging and disengaging. Let's take a look at a band.
