Automatic transmission slipping?

Hey Veeky Forums I've got a 2001 Ford Mustang V6 and the transmission just started slipping from 2nd to 3rd gear
The fluids are fine and it's only got 30,000 miles
How fucked am I? I haven't smelled the transmission burning yet so that's a good sign do you think if I flush it and put new fluid in will that help?

you might make it worse by flushing the system, sometimes the crap in the fluid is just enough to keep it working

Do you know how long I have till it grenades on me if I only drive to and from work?

Oh pull the gun out of your mouth and calm down.
Getting a decent independent shop to source and install a rebuilt is not expensive.
Renting a car or using Uber for a few days is also not that expensive.

Toss a coin.
Heads, 1 day.
Tails, 3 and a half years.

$500 for a used transmission and probably double that in labor if he pays a shop to do it. It's not exactly cheap man.

Told you mileage was a meme logee.

Well that's what you get for getting a Mustang, you muppet. What did you expect?

Look I'm a broke college bound faggot so this isn't exactly something I can just pull out of my ass I'll probably have to get a credit card and go into debt over a car I got maybe 2 weeks ago

Remember that Cube you had? Remember how it was good on gas, reliable, and faster than your POS?
Meanwhile I went cross country in an 89 5.0 with original everything and 130000 miles.
