Originally I thought it was brake band adjustment. However it will flare when it is mid gear. I tested this by putting gear selector in 1 and had the flare mid gear. When its slipping it still provides forward momentum, so its not like its in neutral. The slip is momentary from barely noticeable to a few seconds. Higher the revs the longer it takes.
When it grabs back up it kind of feels sudden like a shift. Seems to act better when cold. It slips more after its warmed up. Starting on a hill is bad and it will slip and catch a few times. Slips in 1st, 2nd and I think third. Haven't noticed it happen in 4th. If I drive with very little acceleration then you can't notice the issue.
Any idea what the problem might be? Until today I thought it was the band and started doing adjustments, but since I had it slip mid gear that shouldn't be it.

I don't know what you mean by "mid gear", but as it slips in 1st, it would be low line pressure. I would check the filter/strainer in the trans pan, for blockage.
