You should sell it and buy the manual. The reason? You know nothing about automatics! The front seal, you guess? Don't you know? You filled it up and it ain't leaking no more? Well then, it ain't a front seal. 99% sure all that's wrong is that you seriously overheated the tranny. If you saw fluid on the ground it's likely from the vent. Take it to somebody who knows what he's doing and if he's honest he'll just drop the pan and inspect the debris. If the clutch plates are toast, it's obvious. If not, he'll install a new filter, fill it correctly with the correct fluid, and you'll be good to go. BTW, the honesty thing works both ways. A crooked buyer, after listening to your story, might say "gee whiz, I had one do that to me and it cost $1,500 to fix it. If you knock $1,500 off I'll take it". And then for a lousy $60 for fluid and filter, he has a perfectly good truck... and $1,440 of YOUR money. "Liars never win and winners never lie"
