So I was on my home from school today, and randomly when i was trying to pull away from a stop sign the transmission wouldn't shift. I was doing 4500 rpms in first! After I let off the gas and tried again it shifted. so I thought WTF its probably nothing, it will never happen again. Half an hour later everything was fine until I tried to up a steep hill which i usually do about 45 or 50 up, it wont shift again and i had to go all the way up the hill at 15 miles an hour doing 4500 rpms!!! Then it was fine the rest of my home. Now I am PO'd any have any ideas? I hate handing my keys to a mechanic and saying well this random problem happened twice in a 50 mile drive, can you fix it?

Thanks
