Default Hesitation

Hey,

I have a 1998 Honda Accord LX with automatic transmission and 130,000 miles. The problem I'm having is at 45mph - 50mph the car feels like it wants to stall outso I give it more gas to keep it runningand it smoothens out, but will eventuallyfeel like stallingagain. Has this happened to anyone, what could it be? Thanks for any advice.

A transmission shudder?

Under light throttle the transmission will go in and out of torque convertor lockup.
That is normal.
Next time it happens try to look at the engine RPM and see if it is falling.
