On my way home from work I manually shifted through the gears starting in first. I hit second and it shifted. Then I hit 3rd and nothing even after 45 mph. I then moved it to overdrive and it shifted again. What's the deal here? Did my third gear go out?

Just wondering if anyone had an idea what would cause that? The surge is hard to describe and you can just barely feel it. Its like you are feathering the throttle. The Tach wiggles just a fuzz when it is happening. The gas mileage seems to be fine and the car runs fine except for the surge. It has 83,000 miles.
