basically you need to isolate what the problem is...
this may sound stupid, but how did you check the oil level?
must be in neutral (or is it park?) and engine idling. when you take out the dipstick (after wiping first) MAKE SURE that the oil is on BOTH SIDES of the dipstick!!!!!!!!!
i cannot stress this enough 
my poor little brother made that mistake with his elantra... $4000 later.......
$1K is for disassembly... it's a lot of labour to pull apart an auto box.
what is the history of the box? did it used to go? made absolutely sure it has oil on both sides of dipstick when engine idling?
find a friendly auto box mechanic to come and look at it for you in return for a few beers after work
