is my trans messed up or iam i dumb. mt

[warwickben]

i feel really dumb asking this. mind you the only other mt car i ever owned is my first gen sa. i noticed if iam doing like 40 in 4th(same in 5th and 6th at different speeds) and step on it my rpms will go up but not my speed. like the tach will jump 2k i hear my motor reving then it willl come back down then my rpms will match my speed. is this part of the traction control? on my way home i trie dit with the traction control off and it still did it. i know on some cars if you shut the traction control off its not really off still.
