car has always had a very slight missfire while at stop lights . recently my check engine light would come on when i warm my car up in the morning it happened twice in two weeks code was a random misfire . when leaving a friends earlier i put it in reverse engaged fine then to drive seemed a little delayed so i takeoff give it gas and it seems like my tranny slipping rpms 3000 and a very bad shaking so i keep it at 1200 and its alright but slow go up a steep hill tranny shifts rpms go up and shaking starts again let off gas goes away so i rev it to 3500 4000 next time it happens shaking goes away shifts fine but then im too fast. changed coils still there but maybe not as bad. i have already have changed iac valve egr valve and passage and sensor sparkplugs and wires less than a year ago. i have a slight ticking and a very slow coolant leak that i cant see where its coming from maybe around cylinder head im not sure where should i start is my tranny shot ? please help im broke and still owe 1000 on the car . also besides above described it ran and shifted smooth till i left my buddies. tranny fluid was 1/4 the way up the hatch marks but it says not to add any right? i have also changed tranny fluid and filter year ago

Check coil if firing all cylinder s

check and get the codes
codes should help in pointing to the correct troubled area
