If the speed sensors all seem to respond appropriately, you may have a misfire. Or, you may be driving around with your air conditioning on and the impression of slip is caused by the increased load of your A/C compressor engaging.

It's a 2003 with 123k miles. I notice it mostly with the A/C on, but from time to time I notice something when the A/C not on, but it may also be just the way the car handles, since it's new to me I don't know all the bumps-and-shimmies yet.
