I have a 96 GT that the tranny did the same thing when I bought it. I bought the car for 2500.00 because of the tranny, and it needed a new softtop. The transmission shop wanted 1500.00 to rebuild it. Me and my uncle removed it and his friend rebuilt it for 500.00. If you are able to remove it it may be cheaper for you this way also. It turned out that the teeth on 2nd gear was broken and all the small pieces were inside it and the torque converter. It had the same symtoms yours does.
