Relax, here are some good steps to follow:
1) Perform a band adjustment on the tranny. Do a search or look at the How Tos and you should be able to find it. If this fixes or reduces the symptoms of slipping, then proceed with:
2) Draining the tranny pan, get the tranny oil pan off, replace the internal filter with WIX 58969.
3) Replace the exernal filter with a Permacool external tranny oil filter.
4) Add an external tranny oil cooler.
5) Replace the pan with the new gasket, fill the tranny via the tranny dip stick tube with ~10 qts Valvoline DEXRON III.
6) Add 1 or 2 qts of LUCAS TRANSMISSION STOP SLIP for preventive maintenance (it has wonders for me).
If you need help, we'll be here.
