'94 Pontiac Trans Sport SE 3800 3.8L - Questions

I just bought this van. Actually , I traded in a piece of crap Lincoln Town Car for it.

Seems to drive ok , but I have a bad feeling my over drive is out as when I'm on i-44 going 60MPH I can hear humming. I just got a bad feelings it's the transmission. I can even hear faint humming going 45 MPH.

Also another issue it has is occasionally will stall out. Not like my lincolns issue but stalls. I can be driving down the road , 40 MPH , even 25 MPH. If I let up off the accelerator too quickly it'll stall out. However I found a little trick to catching it before it stalls , my oil gauge will start to drop , if I can catch it before it hits the bottom by quickly tapping on the accelerator and then releasing it won't stall.

I can give additional information if needed. I've been trying to look at other options such as finding a used transmission but there are 2 different types for my van and I'm not mechanically inclined. I can drive em but can't fix em lol.

Maybe this'll help: VIN 1GMDU06L8RT213230

Overall besides the above issues I think it's a fairly good van. Heat works , air works , power sliding door still works. 202xxx miles though. If more info is needed or anyone knows where I can find a cheap but good transmission give me a reply. Traded in the lincoln to make an 800 mile drive , but with the humming noises @ 60 MPH I'm sceptical.
