Good luck finding a TT in good condition for less than 25k, canadian or american.

The only ones under 10k are either n/a, or beat to hell, or scams. At least thats what I've seen.

Who rebuilt your tranny?

That type of slipping is usually an internal problem with on of the clutches. I would take it back to the tranny shop and get them to fix it under warranty.
