Intake valve cuasing an antifreeze leak? Never heard of it before. But moving on whats done is done.

I was mostly wondering if anyone thought it was possible that the previous work done could have led to this current transmission problem. (The mechanic did indicate that the transmission mount had been loosened in order to replace the intake valve, and that admission at least gives me some hope as their integrity.)

If they know what they were doing, then the transmission should NOT have been touched at all. The TOP engine motor mount is the mount that needed to be removed to access the valve. Thats it tho. There are two transmision mounts however they are on the OPPOSITE side of the engine bay and have NOTHING to do with the valves. Have them make sure they put the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor back on the head with the connector. You may also want to reaplace it with a brass tipped one as the stock resin one cracks sending false data to the PCM. New ones are brass tipped and will not crack. The car uses the sensor for transmission functions among other things.
If that doesnt help then try Wolfmans remedy i posted before. Then move on to the input shaft nut, and then finally get the soleniods checked and/or replace the valve body in the transmission. A new valve body can be expensive however. So hopefully it wont get to that point.
