01 Civic High rpm no acceleration

Hey guys, I have an automatic 2001 Honda civic ex. I have owned this car for about 4 months with no issues Yesterday, I was driving and it seemed to jolt or hiccup between 2nd and 3rd gear. Then, I was leaving a stop light and I couldn't drive faster than 20 mph, but my rpms rising. I pulled into a parking lot nearby and we checked the transmission fluid, and it was perfect. I tried to drive it again and it wouldn't go anywhere. Does this sound like a clutch or transmission problem?

It sounds like an entire transmission problem, i had the same thing happen to me a few months back and i had to replace the entire tranny.

Well being automatic you dont have a clutch, 01 civics are known for bad automatic transmissions, as well as 02 and 03 little better in 04 and 05.

See them all the time, how many miles on your car?
