Hi Greydog.
Well after all the worrying and electrical failures, I decided to just try a brand new battery from Auto zone. Car has been starting ever since.
But a new problem arose last week. While on highway ,I hit the gas to move around someone and engine came out of gear and just revived. I stopped car. Turned off and car now is stuck in 3rd gear. If I am driving 55mph I'm at 4000 rpm. Could it be bad solenoid? Low transmission fluid? Any suggestions?

Hi Chris
Try a Battery disconnect to see if that resets anything (a Dealer Trick) take the Neg lead off and leave it 30 mins then reconnect.
When, if at all was the box last serviced ? Problem could well be a sticking or bad solenoid a Trans specialist would be able to run a diagnostic on the box. To change a solenoid will require a Fluid and Filter change/service.
Very doable yourself just make sure you get the correct fluid ZF Long Life if I recall. Service kits are available on the internet at reasonable prices, just make sure you can get the fill plug loose before draining the box (I know someone who drained the box then couldn't get the fill plug out and damaged it)
Good Luck
Dave
