I don't know much about cars, but I've got a service manual for your care in case you need one. It's BIG, 300mb.

Let me know if you need it.

you should have checked the transmission fluid first .change it if black as dirty fluid can give you a sticky solinoid in the gearbox

there are a multitude of additives that can possibly get you working for a little while, but unfortunately if it is really slipping, nothing short of a rebuild can fix the problem. The additives will only prolong the life for an indeterminable amount of time.... if at all.

PRNDL (is the cable good both ends) shifer>?
R good
L good?
Drive , selected and 1st gear car will not move ?
or 1st gear car moves good but will not up-shift.
1,2,3,4 gear. 1st slips or works??????????????

DIY?
check fuse first
scan the PCM (the PCM has TCM) the TCM tranny brain and if TCM is not happy it tells you why
so all carsChev 1992+ must be scanned, first.
the 4t60E box is electronic shifted. scan it.

2003 Chevy Impala feels like transmission slips when first starting out. Told it was a solenoid

Check trans fluid level. May need to flush trans fluid and filter and adjust bands. First gear and reverse are first to go out. Low fluid level would cause slipage

2003 Chevy Impala transmission

Did you have it serviced or rebuilt, If you had it rebuilt I would take it back to the trans shop for warranty repairs.
If they just changed the trans filter I don't think it would cause your problem.You just have bad luck with the slipping trans
