Transmission magic in the can is usually only a temporary fix. I'd drive it till the transmission goes completely out and that likely will soon happen.

I agree. Drive it till it dies. In the mean time start shopping for a different car. You will need one soon. Replacing the transmission in the car you have will easily exceed the value of the car and is not money well spent.
