Miine was slipping on my '91 because the fluid level was low because a seal
was leaking. I replaced the seal, filter, fluid, gasket, and added some of
that Lucas Trans Fix with the new fluid. So far it has not slipped again.
This is my second transmission and it was supposedly a rebuilt but I have to
way of knowing they didn't just stick an old trans from a junk yard in
there. Like Ashton said you might have a leaking vacuum modulator. If it's
burning trans fluid your level could be low. You can check the vacuum lines
on the cluster on the intake manifold and look for signs of trans fluid
inside the lines. If you are lucky maybe it's just the modulator. Or a
leak.
