Chris,
You understand that the tranny is in self-destruct mode, you will not get many miles out of it, and rebuilding this particular tranny will not be a cheap option.
I tend to join the opinion that the low line pressure is the culprit.
Can you find a mechanic who would agree to do a line pressure test and to replace the oil pump gasket if line pressure shows the problem? It is tranny remove&replace exercise, but the gasket is way cheaper than the new tranny...
Yes, most transmission shops will not do any small repairs - their solution is to offer a rebuild on any reason. Feels like a combination of liability and making-money issues.
