Engine Problems!!! Need Help!!!

I have an update on my progress. I went on vfaq.com to see how to properly set my TPS sensor and I went through the steps on there and set the TPS which cleared the code. Then i bought a new 02 sensor and wired it in to the old splices that were made prior to me owning the car and it was still throwing the code. I did some digging into my factory service manual and realized that they made the splice at the wrong connector. It was actually spliced into a connector for the AC which has been taken out. Found the right connector I needed to splice to and what do you know it cleared the code.

The car was still acting up so I decided to do a leak test and found a leak where the throttle body and the intake manifold meet up. The threads on the manifold ended up being stripped out so I went to Carquest and got a Helicore kit and I was able to fix the threads and stop the leak. Started it up the next day and I was still getting the idle surge and the transmission was still hesitating when shifting.

I'm thinking that the transmission is going out. I am also going to do another compression check to make sure that nothing is wrong on that end.
