If you shift into any gear does that gear work? Reverse, drive, low? If everything cooled down does the transmission begin to work for a while?

Inspect the transmission and make sure all the electrical connectors and wires are still all attached (no broken wires).

I'm attempting to understand all the symptoms your experiencing. Usually, if your transmission is slipping changing the fluid will only make things worst.

Yes everything you saying so far is right. It drives well while its cool. But I'm not sure which wire to look for? Any help with that?

There is not any specific wire I'm talking about. It is just a visual inspection of all the wiring running to all the electrical components on the outside of the transmission. Give a little tug not too much just enough on each wire to see if it is secured. If that's all secured then it is most likely your transmission itself.
From your description it sounds like your transmission bleeding off when reaching operating temperature. This usually involves rebuilding your transmission or replacement.
