last update here. on another thread a guy told me to check for a ball blocking a solenoid in the transmission. it was there and I removed it which also removed the locking up function of the transmission. for a couple weeks it still would fall on it's face a bit, but it's been getting better. it's basically healed itself somehow. I guess the lugging on motor had something to do with it, because it seems to run much better now.
