You really need to hook up to DAS to properly diagnose. With DAS you can view the shaft speeds and review what exactly is happening/slipping. You will also likely have codes given your saying you can feel slipping. These codes will only be available through star DAS.

Is there any strange noises?

Could it be that the lock up clutch isn't engaging?
