95 GP O/D engine rev.. help!?

[GPGirl]

I have a 95 Grand Prix SE. It runs like a dream on city driving (up to fourth). Once I hit O/D the engine seems to slip back and forth from fourth to O/D. This is usually for any driving over 55mph. What's causing this fluctuation?

I took it to a transmission place and they couldn't find anything wrong.

I know it can't be good on the motor and transmission.. Can any of you guys tell me what I can do before breaking down and taking it to the mechanic or what the problem may be? Thanks

I'd PM GTPDad or Big-L on that one. Those two are the only ones old enough to have ever had a 95 GP.
But welcome to the site. Nice to see people from Michigan out here.
