My transmission has been leaking on me and started out I lost reverse. It would ingauge at high rpms if i reved it. now I am starting to loose other gears and I am down to first gear. I have changed out the trans fluid and filter and I am always topping off the trans fluid (cause of the leak). I sometimes get 2nd and 3rd gear back but not for long. Is there a easy fix that can get me back or do I need to get a new or rebuilt transmission?
