Default Is my Trans gone?

This morning driving to work on the highway, I had my traction system come on. It stayed on for about 30sec and started slowing the car down to the point where i had to pull to the shoulder. (No reduced engine power came on). After i pulled key and restarted the car, I started back on the highway and when i got up to about 70-75 it started again and this time the rpm's jumped a few more hundred higher then supposed to for going 70. I just stayed bellow 60mph and barely made it to work this morning ....What could it be? thanks in advance

Al,
