Potential Motor/trans Swap & E85Ftw

So I got a code stating "Incorrect gear ratio". Time to replace the transmission? I know reverse is slipping but nothing else seems to be slipping at all as far as I can tell. My flashing trans malfunction light popped up and the car slammed itself into 3rd(I don't use overdrive around town since converter lockup activates at 35 in 3rd) and I had to power it into traffic in third gear. I hit a whopping 24psi on the factory 15g at 2500rpm which burnt it up AGAIN after I JUST rebuilt it. Surprisingly, I had no knock and didn't bend a rod!! Now the car smokes at idle AGAIN. Thankfully I have a brand new 50 trim T04E to put on it, but I have a feeling I'll need a motor soon as well since I already have extremely excessive blowby.
