You won't find anything here by searching. The auto tranny has proven to be essentially bullet proof with very little reported issues. If, as you say, the fluid is full and clean and your problems exist at normal operating temps, then I'd say a trip to the shop is in order.

What's going to suck is the potential of a repair in this situation being essentially what market value of the car is.

I got the car for $800 under book value, so if I have to sink some money into it it's not the end of the world I guess. I'd rather fix it now before it gets worse. I bought this to commute fr work, so I'm hoping this is the only thing I run into. It seems to be in very good condition otherwise. Any recommended things to check on the rest of the car based on mileage, ect?

Right around 130k I had issues with front wheel bearings and the water pump. I also just had my wiper motor die at around 140k.

Anything spinning is going to start to wear down over 100k so I'd check water pump, alternator, wheel and suspension components. The motor is pretty reliable as long as you keep up with the oil.
