Default HELP! Auto transmission problems

I have a 1992 SC300 auto w/ 92,xxx miles. Recently the tranny's been acting up. The car hops at reverse and also after a rough 20-30 mile commute on the highway, the car fails to accelerate for a few seconds at a stop light. I've flushed out the fluid and also replaced the gasket in case for any possible leaks. Is this a common problem among the 92-93 models? I've been recommended to replace my tranny. I want to be sure of the problem before pulling it out.

So. Cal heads! For future reference, any recommendations where I could pick up a auto tranny besides the junkyard?

I would definitely appreciate any feedback or suggestions. I am fairly new to the Lexus/SC scene.
