Car almost died..

Hey guys just got back from work and on my way my 03 almost died. Im doing 30 and the speed limit changes to 55, so i give about 75% throttle till im doing about 56-57mph and then let off the gas. When I did this the rpm's dropped to what looked like just below idle and the car jerked slightley, what could this be? Im having tranny problems so is this related?

EDIT: I took it to the dealer a couple weeks ago for this "late shift" and they had the car for almost a week and claim nothing to be wrong with the transmission. Meanwhile, they witnessed the problem and continue to deny it.

I wouldn''t worry about it, since mine does the samething. Say I accelerate to 40MPH, then need to stop for a stop sign, take foot off gas, rpms drop to 800ish and I feel an upshift.
