Well after more reading and digging online I think I might not need to replace the transmission!! The guy I was suppose to get the trans from wasn't returning my texts or calls to get his address so I started searching and found a couple other people that have had similar issues and reading their stories leads me to believe that I may just have bad shift solenoids!! Yay for that so I ordered two new solenoids and a new trans filter, seal, and pan gasket from Rockauto. I think what I will do is have a shop do a trans flush for me then I will swap the filter and solenoids after the flush is done so hoepfully anything that might come loose which shouldn't be much will be taken out when I replace the filter and then I will top off the trans fluid again and hopefully I will be good! I also went ahead and ordered the gasket kit for the remote oil filter since it has recently started leaking at the block I will takle this crap next week and hopefully my problems will be solved

Finally fixed the non-working odometer (1st gen, no cable) . One of the plastic gears split and walked off the end of the shaft. Was wondering how the hell the speedometer could work without the odometer. Now I know. None of it is mechanical like the older ones - it's all run by stepper motors.
Also fixed my non-resettable trip meter by tack welding a carburetor float pin to the end of the shaft. Looks like someone epoxied the shaft in place way off-center, so one end of the shaft that was supposed to lock into this plastic support tower was free to flail about. No wonder it didn't work. After some careful welding, it works like a charm now.
While inside I repaired a non-functioning right t/s bulb. Bulb was fine - just made a bad contact. To be expected after 23 years of service.
