About the engine.. check it out. It shows you the different parts of an engine in a simple animation.

When the transmission slips, it means either you have too much power for the transmission or, more likely in your case, the transmission is damaged (worn down). Could be actually many things.
BTW, replacing the piston rings, means a whole engine rebuild. If your cylinder walls are worn down or damaged they may need to be machined (bored out).
