Default trans slip intermittent

ok well i have a 92 sc400 and its weird. when u first start the car and go its fine but after a lil ways it starts slipping. u let it sit for a couple mins and it goes more. this all started after the trans fluid was changed from the previous owner. could it be as simple as just flushing it out better or does it need a new trans?

Was Toyota type T-IV fluid used for the flush? Dexron and others can cause issues on the SC400's.

i have no clue what they used. the guy worked at jiffy lube. i checked it when it was cold and it had way to much. i was gona flush and put the right fluid in so i know it has the right stuff in it. i can jus use the t-iv for imports from like autozone right? or does it have to be from toyota?
