The problem is that a lot of different things can fail to cause the same
symptom. You have dealt with the two most common failures, but there are
still plenty more (including the normal issues with tiny hydraulic channels
clogging that have many different possible symptoms).

Think of this as an opportunity to drop in the 5-speed Getrag that this
car really deserves. Yes, I know it's a whole bunch of linkages that need
to be installed and carefully tweaked but you'll never regret doing it.
