Hello and thanks for the question...I'll try to help.
Slipping is the cause of worn friction and steel plates, fluid cross leaks, or servos and bands being burnt or bad. A manual valve body won't cure the problem.
To tell you the truth..I've got no idea IF a early 80's tranny will bolt up to yours. I would suggest that you have a rebuild done.....might cost a little more than a junk yard one......but it will save you the hassle.
