Exclamation Now what do i do?

Okay since some of you dont know , my tranny hasnt been working with me.
I thought it was the gov solinoid, so i replaced it.

When i went to test it: i let it war up first. put it in drive and hit the gas just a tad, it woud then jump into gear ,like the whole truck would jump a little. it would slowly start to move and then i would have to put more throttle down. alot more, this is where it felt it was in like neutal. then it would then again jump a tad and move again. (same with reverse). soo i thought maybe if i put it in first it wouldn't do this, so i did, the first time it stalled on me. tryedd it again and it sounded bad. so i put it back into drive.

FYI: i did see a little leak but i dont think it leaked to much ATF out. and i also had a pretty flat tire but wasnt to bad.

Sadly i think its time for a new trans..

Did you check the fluid level? Running in neutral check it.
