Slipping and what some of you have discribed are too differnt things...
Slipping is where the rpm of your motor go's up, and your speed dont increase... this is harder to diagnose on an auto...
For an auto tranny slip test... one way is to stop, leave the car in gear... left foot the brake... and give it some gas... this way you will be able to see how much your tranny will slip.. because your not moving... your rpms should come no higher than say.... 2-2300rpms.... (my buddy had a daytona that would rev to 3500-4500 like this, his tranny was foked) when you do this your whole drive train should torque up, it may feel verry vilolent.... this is normal becasue you are applying a lot of torque from the engine to the wheels... thru the tranny but with the brakes applyed...

Annother easy way is to stop.. and then do a hard take off... and see how high the rpms come up b4 they stop climbing faster than your speed... they should move together...

What some of you have described is "hunting" where the tranny is looking for the right gear... when it takes time to move... and hesitates... can be caused by other things...

But with these cars and all the computer garbage, it could easly be something computer related.

But if your car has quite a few k on it.. then doing a flush/re&re on the fluids isnt a bad idea
