By the time I realize it has happened, it's back to normal. Has happened 2 or 3 separate occasions. Any ideas? Should l start looking at the engine or transmission?

If the RPMs dropped when you felt the loss of power its engine related. If the RPMs climbed when you felt the loss of power, the tranny would be slipping.
