Don't think I like this tranny

This '87 has an automatic transmission, although I haven't driven it much at a time (first, steering rack and then charging sys. troubles) it has seemed to me like it lacked overdrive. Guess it's a 3 speed? The longest trip in it resulted in some kind of overheat (son said it was tranny overheating?)He kindly topped it off with non-F fluid and now it's not wanting to go forward in anything other than 1st Don't panic - it's parked once again until I can locate drain plug and proceed to do four fluid changes to get that gunk out of there. All in all, I liked the manual 5-speed on the '86 much better. Probably not likely to find anyone local to swap it over, though. It seems that every so-called mechanic who touches my car messes something up. grrr! Assuming it's not toast (not much running time with wrong gunk and the fluid is not burnt at all) should I just try to live with the automatic as long as it gets me to and fro?
