Welcome to the forum, hermannm2! 
Have you spoken with your dealer about the transmission slipping? Fill me in on some details, such year and mileage; I'll see how I can best assist.

Not a lot of transmission problems with the 6r80.
Most common problems (from memory) are a few torque converter clutch failures on the 09-10 models, and fluid leaks from the main transmission connector.
Have you checked the fluid level? There is a dipstick underneath on the passengers side. Not the handiest to get to, but thats a good place to start.
Check up in the stickies for video links and you'll find one that shows you how to find the dipstick and check the fluid.

Hi Rachel,
I have not contacted my dealer as my truck is out of warranty. The truck is a 2011 F-150. I did get a notice in the mail about a recall on the truck as it might suddenly shift into first gear but Ford has no fix yet. I wonder if this problem is related.
While driving the truck seems to slip out of gear and the speedo drops suddenly and then come back up.
I did have an issue while driving when the truck slammed into second and shut the truck down.
