98 Lumina Troubles

I have a 1998 Lumina 3.1 V6 with 78,000 miles on it. It just started in the last week have what seems to be tranny problems. I have trouble going from a dead stop. It revs up really far, and I almost have to floor it to go up to speed with the other cars when I am at a stop. After I get going, it continues to rev up until I let the gas go, and then it shifts. Once I get going after it does that, it is fine.

I had tranny service done, changed fluid and filter less than 300 miles ago. It is still full, no color change and no bits in the fluid.

I have moved from Florida to Connecticut recently. I let it warm up fully before I drive it, and I do not make short trips with it (to the store and back kind of stuff).

I have had a Pontiac before that that had a tranny problem, so I am leaning towards this.

Any ideas of anything else it could be, or am I on the right track.

Thanks for your help!
