2004 Honda Accord Transmission problems

Hey everyone just looking for some input. My girlfriend owns an '04 Honda Accord V6 auto. The other day I was driving from my parents and the car was slipping and the tach was shooting up to 4-5000 rpm and surging. I pulled over and shut it off for a min started it back up and drove very easily to our house it worked ok.
The next morning I checked the trans fluid and it was dark grey/blackish. (I had the fluid changed this past summer) there is a whining sound when the car is running,
Not any pulleys, it's coming from the tranny side.. Torque converter? Anyways The car has a delay when goin into gear and slips... My question is should I bother wasting 130$+ on another trans fluid flush? I know it's only a small amount compared to replacing the trans( which I can get a fully
Rebuilt for 1850$, with 20 000kms warranty) also there were no codes, I checked with a code scanner.
Any input is appreciated

Thanks

The whining is the pump trying to force fluid through a blocked orifice in the trans.
I think the transmission is done, don't bother with the flush.
How many miles (km's) on the Accord?

Or that sound is the front pump in the trans cavitating due to low fluid level I would check the fluid level first with the proper procedure in park or neutral what ever honda calls for worth a try
