I would recommend having a tech with a scanner check the vehicle to see how it is responding. Using a real time scanner, he will be able to see how it responds.

The trans mechanic will most likely have to drive the vehicle hooked up to a scanner until it slips again. At that point, he should be able to see what is causing the problem.

Let me know what you find.
