rebuild tranny, bad blocker rings and the gear hub synchro teeth need to be inspected for those gears to see if they are mushroomed flat

We're assuming this is a manual transmission correct ?

It your AOD is doing this, your TV cable is disconnected or broken. Don't drive the car till this is fixed.

I'd just fine a local shop with a good reputation and bite the bullet. Shipping costs would be costly.
