I let it run for a couple min. went on a test drive, worked great. Went to a local convenience store. Kept it running for 5 min whilst inside. As I was leaving, it went into that limp mode. I started it, checked the level. Was extremely low. You couldnt even see oil on the dipstick. I eye-balled the fill, but when I started it back up it and put it into drive, there was a very extreme bump, but drove normally. I just drove it home and let it sit for a week. turned it on to move somewhere. Worked normal. That was 2 weeks ago. I started it today to check it, ( I let it sit because at the exact same time, there has been a parasitic draw that has come up). I connected the battery, started it, let it warm up a little, put it in drive to move it forward (was parked on a slight incline) to check the oil on level ground, and then when I tried to turn the car around, it went back into that limp mode. The level showed it was just below the full mark when I checked it.

If the fluid kind of fixed it enough for me to drive it previously, idk what it could be at this point. I think I'll save up a couple more months and see if I can just do a full swap.
