So what have I done to this point? I bought it Monday, September 26th. The next day I took it to the transmission shop for the tranny to be rebuilt because it didn't have reverse. I picked it up on Thursday, October 6th, and while driving home it lost OD then 2nd. Shop had it towed back, and on Monday, October 24th I picked it up once again (I was out of town for almost 3 weeks), and drove it home. Lo and behold, it was leaking transmission fluid. I discovered that the guy hadn't put a seal where the TV cable goes into the transmission, $1, 15 minutes, and two dirty hands later I fixed it. And then the fun began!
