Are you sure it's slipping or maybe going into limp mode?

Limb mode is when the tranny control module senses a problem and defaults the tranny to 3rd gear. The car will still drive but very slow start like it's slipping. Are you getting any gear light or check engine light? These trannys don't have a filter or at least one that can be serviced, notice there is no pan.

Simple things to check first, tranny fluid level. If that's within normal, check for codes. Before diving into an expensive rebuild, its worth trying a flush.
