The slipping is a lousy sign. Some of these had a small nylon thing on throttle body that could allow the kickdown cable to come off but then you would have had trouble downshifting first - not a slip.

Check fluid color - if dark it's game over. The good news is you probably can find good whole trans for this for a reasonable amount or get it done if the car is good overall,
