Traction light comes under medium-heavy throttle

ok guys so heres the problem, when i am driving and i give it some gas (medium and heavy) my traction light comes on and my car feels really sluggish. i can feel the wheels like slipping and sometimes my whole car slows down and you can hear a slight grinding. this doesnt happen all the time only sometimes. the light does not stay on, it only blinks (kind of like if you hammer it from a stop with the traction on, the light goes on when your wheels are slipping) this usually happens at higher speeds like 40+ so i know i cant be spinning tires at that speed.

i recently had my axles, motor mounts (front and back) and had my tranny fluid changed the first time at 65k. i have about 68k now on a 5AT. im not sure if it can be the tranny slipping or is it the tranny mounts since i did not replace those. a while back i got a vsa code and the traction light stayed on. i unplugged my battery and they both went away. also when im just cruising around and driving normally, i do not get any traction light come on. does anyone know what the problem can be???
