In simple terms, automatic transmissions work by spinning a series of discs with magical glitter on them. Once the glitter comes off of the discs it cannot be put back on and new glitter-discs need to be installed.
It will only get worse with time and there is no inexpensive solution. If you still enjoy driving your car, drive it and enjoy it.
I follow a thread on another forum with a '98 Tiptronic Boxster. It started with a few minor problems and valiant attempts at DIY repairs. More money was spent. More problems developed. Eventually he sent the transmission to be rebuilt at great expense. The transmission was unknowingly damaged during re-installation and over a year was spent trying to resolve more issues that developed. At this point, the money, time, and emotion that has gone into this car would have been better spent accepting the loss a couple years ago and moving on to another car.
