Low fluid will definitely keep it from shifting but not having the TV cable adjusted will also delay the shifts and make them excessively harsh when they do happen too. Don't drive it until you get the cable hooked up and adjusted. It can destroy a perfectly good trans in a very short time.

Try to get Brittany out in the shop with you so she doesn't feel left out or neglected, even if she is just hanging out watching & learning.

I had the same issues with my wife until I involved her in my projects. She doesn't do much work but we can still talk while I am working and she doesn't feel like I am cheating on her with the other woman any longer.

She's not really interested in the build process but she enjoys the finished product so she puts up with it. Mostly she just hangs out and plays around on her iphone but at least we are together. Occasionally I can get her to help out when I need a hand.
