This one will have to be rebuilt to get it to work right.

Based on your description of the problem it sounds like the direct clutch is not holding.

so u dont think it could be a bad valve body gasket

From my limited reading of symptoms versus whats wrong what you described is a clutch issue, not a valve body issue which means a rebuild.

If you have time/energy/gumption, it is possible to put in a 5e55e transmission. Its not a plug/play (electronics) but There is a thread on here about doing that. That will give you a stronger and electronically controlled (a4ld is electronically inhibited) transmission, Plus its a 5 speed.
