Transmission slips and jumps out of gear when hot... Tranny svc. done - any ideas for fix?

Trans slips from 2-3 when cold, REALLY flares/slips when hot... Has been slipping bad lately and jumping out of 4 to 3 at highway speeds. I sometimes can get it to go back into 4th by accelerating, then very quickly releasing the pedal, forcing the shift. Sometimes this does not work, at which point I place it in Neutral, and then back into D. Then it will often drop to 2nd (at 50+mph)... then sometimes can get it to shift back into top gears by accel to redline.... Sometimes it will just start slipping, as if in N..

Is there anything I can do? Modulator adjustment? What is the procedure for properly adjusting the Bowden and Throttle cables underneath the Air Box?

Basically, is there anything I can do short of replacing the tranny?

Thank you very much for your time!
