Default Possible transmission problem?

So I think Im having transmission problems. Im not 100% sure but I have a good hunch. The problem that Im having is that when I start to accelerate my truck starts to spudder and I can feel a kicking or a slipping directly under my seat, this usually starts between 50-60 mph and then If I completely floor it my check engine light starts flashing and goes off. My gut feeling is that it's my transmission. I did put some Lucas transmission fix in when it first started doing this and it when back to normal for a day or do. If anyone has had any similar problems please let me know. Thanks

Its the same with Dodge. So there might be nothing wrong with his trans. It might be the engine missing causing lack of power. What engine do you have? How many miles are on it? When was the last time you replaced the plugs and maybe wires?
