Why rpm jumps during accelaretion between 25mph to 60mph

Hello friends

I have explorer 2009

During idle the rpm is constant

During accelaretion from 0mph to 25mph the engine is smooth

During acceleration from 25mph to 60mph, when I'm in 1500-1400 rpm, it jumps to 1800rpm with rrrrr noise and go down back to 1500rpm.

Its happened several times until I reach 60mph, and then the car drives smoothly.

If I will accelarete with higher rpm, 2000rpm or more, the rpm jumping doesn't accure

What is the cause?

Please help

Thanks

I'm guessing your descriptions of your xmission is it's downshifting for the jump in rpm. There may be more than one issue here; replacing xmission fluid as recommended in owner's manual, shift linkage adjustment and/or electronics controlling shifts that may need a program update (usually free from manufacturers). I think you can check online if there are any service bulletins related to xmission software updates from the manufacturer.
