Second Transmission in 5k miles?

Hello,
I have a 2004 93 arc conv, which is cursed. At 40k miles the transmission was replaced after a long episode of funky symptoms, i.e. hard shifting, going into limp home mode, and finally getting stuck in limp home mode. At 36k or so the water pump was replaced. Ever since the water pump was replaced the car smells like coolant after it heats up.
So, Im now at 45k miles. Im driving home from Elko NV, I feel a slight hesitation in the car, and the transmission warning light goes on again. Crap, here we go again, I think. I try to downshift manually, but no luck. I stop to get gas (in the middle of nowhere Valmy NV) and upon restarting the car, i can use second and fifth. When i shift from second to fifth, it slams into gear.
So, the car is back at the dealer. Im just very lucky its still under warranty. I think coolant is getting into the tranny and wrecking it, based on the smell factor. The dealer says no way. Any ideas? Thanks.
