Well it slips gears and doesn't catch gears. Like the problems you might have with a standard car but its auto. And I already did the whole fluid check.

New is going to run you a whole lot more than getting it rebuilt. Not too sure where you are located but I'd try hard to find a shop that is honest and truly rebuilds the whole unit. Not just the parts that are causing the failures. So to save some cash, I'd go rebuilt.

Here's a site that sells used car parts.

The parts usually come with a 3month warranty I think u can also buy an extended warranty for parts u buy also.
