Default aristo transmission problem

Im having issues with my aristo transmission. After installing the transmission i was able to drive the car for a couple of days until it started to act up. After driving for a bit the car then slips as if the car is in neutral. After a while the car is able to drive for a block or two and then acts up again. I dont know if its my torque converter or transmission.

He has an aristo engine and harness so it plugs right in.

Transmission was bad. I swapped the trans with another transmission and it ran great.
