While I am driving it goes in to neutral and I have to shut it off and wait for a little bit then it will drive again. And it is running at hi rpm's. People are telling me the transmission is bad and others said to replace the shift solenoids.

It could be the shift solenoids which are common, I need to ask if you checked the fluid level and do you have a check engine light on? Here are two guides to help get us started.
