Two things come to mind. First the rattling may be a cracked flywheel. The welds break on these, more common than most vehicles. This can give a drivability problem as well, maybe the one your having?

Second the transmission takes ATF + 4, and will slip wiithout it. A modifier can be added to correct this.
