Post T.C. drainback--fed up!!!

Back in June I switched over to Amsoil everywhere.In the tranny I loosened the v.b. to get as much as I could out of the t.c.Since then I've had some drainback symptoms which were liveable in the warm weather, but now that it is cold(20 or under)it has gotten to be too much.I was told to leave it warm up in nuetral for a couple minutes.I do that,(2-3 minutes at 1000r.p.m.).Then I pull out of my driveway,go about 50 yards,and it stops and slips for a couple of seconds before it kicks back in.Tonite I started it and warmed it up for 2+ minutes in nuetral(should be more than addiquate in my oppinion).It slipped a little going out the long driveway(couple hundred yards)where we were visiting,yhen drove home,about 2+ miles,started backing in my driveway,and nothing but slip city for about 3-5 seconds.Does anyone else know what it could be,this is ridiculous,I can't see having to go through this whenever I try to go somewhere.It wouldn't be bad if it worked after warming up in nuetral for a few minutes,but to have it start slipping after I get out on the road just doesn't seem right to me.
