tranny problem

[1987HondaAccord]

ok, so i was on the freeway for a while because of traffic, and when i finally started moving, the car wouldn't stay in D4. it would shift up through 1, 2, and 3 with no problem. When it tries to shift up to 4 it would just downshift into 3... and then 2. when i got home, i had a look at the tranny fluid. i think i remember it being red-er when i put it in. it looked sort of brown-red on the dipstick.

Do i need a new transmission? or is it something that flushing the tranny will take care of?

thanks for your help... again...

its next to the motor on the front of the tranny. almost directly under the distributor.
