Dealers stumped, Please help
I have a 2004 RX-8 that I haven't been able to drive for over a year because nobody can figure out what's wrong with it. It's an automatic transmission where every time I get to 4th gear it slips down to 3rd, the engine revs for a while and it sometimes goes back to 4th and sometimes just stalls. Hopefully this description is enough detail as I'm not much of a mechanic but I'd love to hear if anyone has heard of similar problems or knows of any solutions. Thank you so much for listening.

Im located in central Jersey zoom. Thanks lilring, I'll have to ask about that. Wingz, it mostly runs fine otherwise, the only other thing I forgot to mention was sometimes at red-lights it stalls too. But yes, it always restarts just fine. Btw, the car only has 45K miles on it

That definitely sounds like something's wrong with the ecu... the slip to 3rd could be the clutches inside the tranny, but in that case the car would simply rev without engaging 4th... any CEL's?

Power train warranty is only for 4 years, 50k miles.
Engine Warranty is for 8 years 100k miles.
No new transmission for the OP, unless they have an extended warranty.
BC.
