well, just from personal experience, i have done stuff like that before. well nmy stuff lasted for quite some time so it didnt seem like it hurted to much. i did just add tranny fluid and it seem to be just fine. but i have had a tranny go completely due to lack of fluid. third gear went away. so put some fluid in it and try it. because you were going up a hill or down is why it went away and were able to find it before you went cruisin down the street.
