When driving my car around town, i am starting to feel the car almost lag behind, as if the trans was slipping, then the battery light comes on, and the check engine light will flash momentarily. The car doesnt stall, and as soon as i get it over 4000 rpms, the battery light kicks off, and then the trans feels normal again.

Half the time i only notice cuz my radio will error out.

Is this a problem w/ my trans? or more likely something in the electrical system?
