Possible corrosion in the valve body
There are so many small passages and valves in the valve body it may be possible you never got all the moisture out even with repeated flushing. You may have some valves that are sticking when the fluid is cold. If you are talking about real slipping and not just flaring up you might consider running a transmission additive that is designed to clean passages and soften seals.
1991 300td gear slip
Jack V. Thank you Kent.Slipping is real short time especially with my way of driving,easy on gas pedal.I love my baby.I even tried for a short period of time to get a lot more of a gas to drive much faster, just to see reaction.And everything vent fine,shift nice.I forget to tell you ,I allready replaced valve body with a good ,known one.and there is no difference.Now I drive it like a manual tranny.when time comes up to change a gear,I just release a gas pedal for a momentand my baby shift nice agaain. But it boders me a lot.Never heard about oil additive of that kind,but it is worth a try.Could you please give me dirrection where to by it.Thanks a million. Jack.

I have had good success in the past with an additive called Trans-X. Ask you local auto parts stores.
