Transmission troubles 2002 F250

Hey there

I'm having some transmission woes with my 2002 F250 w/ 5.4L Triton automatic transmission.

The issue I'm having is as follows: i sprung a leak between the rear of the engine and the bellhousing, got some stop leak for it and trans fluid to fill it back up (as per recommended by a local shop). Which seemed to do the trick, but quickly turned into whenever my transmission gets warmed up after driving a couple of miles, there's no more go. I can hit the gas and the engine will rev up, but it's like I'm in neutral. When putting it back into park, there's a whine that comes from the transmission.

Has anybody had this happen? I'm guessing I'm SOL and will end up needing to either have the tranny rebuilt or buy a replacement one, but any guidance or advice is greatly welcomed. I do most of my own maintenance but this is a little out of my wheelhouse and capabilities

Thanks in advance!

Is it low on transmission fluid? Check it warmed up, in park, engine idling.

No it's not low, it was right at the top of the hashmarks on the dipstick
