Sorry, but the lady who you bought it from was not trustworthy. Have a mechanic diagnose it, but once a transmission starts slipping, it's time to replace. Transmissions are not something that you can normal DIY even if you wrench on cars. if you can, find a shop to install a used transmission to keep the cost down.

This could be an engine issue making you Think the transmission is slipping. Have you checked engine codes for a misfire? Cleaned throttle body, IAC, throttle position sensor, MAF sensors can cause issues like this. Just to name a few.

Any type of fuel delivery. Clogged injectors or wiring issue to injector. I said misfire in earlier post. Check codes and see if you have a bad coil on plug.
