3- my gears feel like they're slipping, and im getting pretty much no acceleration. im hoping that's just the transmission fluid.
4- when i step on the brake, my speedometer falls to "0".
5- my engine BARELY turns over, but it won't start.

is this all a connected problem, or is it two seperate problems...to me, it sounds like the starter(which "got changed this weekend"[i just bought this car two days ago]) and the alternator as far as the electrical problems go, and the transmission sounds like hopefully the fluid, if not the whole chimichanga.

any help or advice is appreciated. thank you

sounds like whoever did the alternator change left something not grounded properly so your electronics are all out of whack and keep cutting in and out, i definitely would blame it on the alternator , if nothing else was replaced lately....
