Automatic Transmission slippage?

1997 900se automatic ~95,000mi
symptoms: after car sits without engine running (even at warm temp) for a couple of minutes, I can select drive and it will attempt to pull forward, but will then just rev with no engagement after ~20 seconds. At this point, no gear selection helps, including winter mode so I dont think it is gear specific. Once this all happens, any gear selection wont engage gears at all.
I believe the transmission fluid level might have been low for a while, and I drained and replaced it. (it is at max at warm temps). I have had some recent overheating issues which I think I have fixed but I thought it was strange that the overheating would happen real quick after a short hill climb. I wonder if this has anything to do with the trany? or if the trany issues have to do with overheating?
all the fuses that are labeled with transmission seem ok. My NSS is bypassed by a jumper.
Anyone have suggestions as what I could do to further diagnose before I spend 1500 on a rebuild? The repair shop said they would have to pull the whole engine to take out the transmission. Is this correct? Is there ANYTHING I can do or look at (for instance if I pull off the pan to see better?) Otherwise the only thing I can think of is to change the fluid again and add the additive people recommend here but, I doubt this will accomplish anything. Any advice would help as I am not sure the car is even worth spending $2G on:(
