AC Tranny issue

I come to my Maxima family for some help. Whenever I run my AC for 20-30 minutes while driving my transmission seems like it is slipping. It will eventually stop pulling. I park for 10 minutes or so and I can drive again as long as I drive slow and dont run my AC. Any ideas I am stumped.

Start with the basics. Check the transmission oil level. Also check the color, it should be a bright red. And smell the oil. It should not have any kind of a burnt odor.

Do you recommend a gradual tranny flush a couple of quarts each week for a month? I have heard horror stories of trannys going out if a complete flush is done? I am going to change the speed sensor as well because the car kicked that code out.
