I think the problem is largely due to transmission fluid loss. There must be damage or a rust hole in the transmission pan causing that loss. Or there may be a leaky cooler line that runs up to the radiator. Look for the source. If it shifted okay before the fluid loss, you may get off easy on repair costs.
