Sorry, but the lady who you bought it from was not trustworthy. Have a mechanic diagnose it, but once a transmission starts slipping, it's time to replace. Transmissions are not something that you can normal DIY even if you wrench on cars. if you can, find a shop to install a used transmission to keep the cost down.
I have taken it to shops they keep saying that there's no codes coming from the transmission! Idk what to think!
This could be an engine issue making you Think the transmission is slipping. Have you checked engine codes for a misfire? Cleaned throttle body, IAC, throttle position sensor, MAF sensors can cause issues like this. Just to name a few.
Check fuel pressure. Fuel pump starting to go has these symptoms.
Any type of fuel delivery. Clogged injectors or wiring issue to injector. I said misfire in earlier post. Check codes and see if you have a bad coil on plug.
