cruising on down the road and put the gas down and the rpms rise but it goes nowhere is called....................slipping

if you continue to drive it that way, the transmission will overheat, the fluid will burn and the rebuild will cost more than what the rebuild that you need will cost if you stop driving, yanking the trans and getting it rebuilt

As an aside, with the trans out, it's a great time to repalce the rear main seal in the engine. It's right there and you may as well use the opportunity.

Oh, and if you are yanking it yourself, do strap the trans to the trans jack. When transmission meets head, the head loses. I took on a 700R4 in my '89 and lost. I then made sure to strap the trans each time I removed it from my 95Z for the 3 rebuilds (yes 3 rebuilds) that I had done (it happens when you make too much power)

If you can remove/replace yourself, and have an alternate vehicle you can use, find a cruise night or car club and ask around for opinions as to who does an "honest" bench rebuild. If you're stock engine, you don't always need new hard parts but it never hurts to upgrade servo and the sunshell

here's a generic version of "the beast"

here's an upgraded servo but shop around
