I could be shunned from the board for this advice, but what the heck. An old trick that I've tried and sometimes works, is pour some brake fluid in, it swells the seals and actually gets it working again.

My grandmas car has been driven for about 5 years on a bad tranny salvaged with brake fluid.
I run a plow truck and it actually got me through an evening of plowing until I was able to replace the
tranny the next day.

If your tranny is toast and your planning on replacing it anyways, give this a try.
