welcome, shpetimq, real clean lookin car ya got. I have no idea about the tranny, but the brake fluid is something that you have to constantly have to check. No the brakes have nothing to do with the tranny, but it could have something to do with loss of stopping power (just messin with ya). why you were able to remove the in anything other than Park, I dunno, but you really should get that looked at.
