transmission is acting funny. could use some help?

tonight driving home my truck could not figure out what gear it wanted to be in. took off from a stop light, felt it shift once then it felt like it shifted back and forth 3 or 4 times then acted fine. next stop light , (taking off real slow) it did the same thing. after 30 mph it seemed fine. ANY input? the truck has 180000 on the clock. it did the same thing a couple years ago, 3 months latter i had to replace the TC. i am hoping that is not what is coming next?
