You need to dump this guy right off. Anybody who would buy a Mustang with an automatic is not somebody you want to be going out with.
One of the issues with the automatic is that it's harder to decouple engine and transmission problems from one another. So this COULD turn out to be a transmission issue, though it's unlikely. And a transmission shop will almost certainly think it is, because when the tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
