For the Ebrake light check your brake fluid level. Probably a little low.

For the tranny, hopefully changing the fluid will solve this. What did you use to fill it previously? Did you have it serviced and the place the did the work put more fluid into it? They may have used the wrong kind of fluid.

If all else fails you can probably pick up a used tranny from MSRecycling.com, car-part.com, or from a yard in Reno and swap it in. The tranny's are pretty rock solid as long as you don't let them overheat.
