Haha thanks man! Such a weird setup and design, I didn't even think to put two and two together until the symptoms hit...

Well, I'm going to the GF's work. Going to dump 3 or 4 qts of cheap ATF fluid in, and drain some of the oil. Let her drive it home, and then replace the AT filter(only $20 at checkers), and fluid with some mobile 1. Then do another oil change. Hopefully there isn't much damage done.
