1994 LHS Trans issue

Just bought a 1994 LHS for 500 bucks. Pretty sure that there were going to be issues with it. When I bought it it had a broken Trans mount which I replaced. When I went to road test it, it seemed like the transmission was fighting itself to move the car. Along with the bucking and stalling when I put it into Drive, it also displayed the traction control light intermittently. It was almost like a brake was sticking or something. But while rolling, I put it into Neutral and it coasted so i know the brakes arent the issue. Then i turned off the traction control and it quit bucking. It wouldnt shift with the traction control on or off. I have noticed (after I bought this thing of course!) that there seems to be a trend of transmission failure with these cars. If anyone has some insight or experience with these symptoms I would appreciate any help. I am leaning toward an electrical issue since mechanical problems dont usually go away and come back. Usually a part breaks and stays broke but who knows!
Thanks
