Few things I can think of:

1 - vacuum leak somewhere

2 - MAFS needs cleaning

3 - fuel pump

4 - horrible heat/humidty or poor air intake

Chelly brings up a good point.  Have you checked for any vaccum
leaks.  One time I forgot to reattach a vaccum line and the had a
bad hesitation.
Your problem deosn't sound like a tranny issue.

Start with the lines coming off the back of the intake manifold. 
Where the lines connect to the manifold is the most likly place.
