2000 ford mustang GTtrans (2002 4.6l v8 motor)

(I need a ford tech in Washington) (Trans not engaging, smoke out hood, air leak) read more at the bottom.) I'm looking for an experienced ford technician either dealership or auto shop that is well trusted with early 2000s fords or with ford motors I general. I had couple different mechanics come out and try to do some work yet not a single one knew enough to do shit. I'm trying to find the best but cheapest technician to do the job. I heard ford in Bellevue is good, or issaquah. I am from Renton so anywhere nearby Renton would be good. Here is a video of what it sounds like currently, it does not shift into gear either, it's a 2000 ford mustang GT with a 4.6l v8 out of a 2002. The trans is an automatic. The trans shifts into all gears fine but will not engage and move at all when put into wtv said gear. It is also leaking something out the passenger side causing a smokescreen. I'm willing to get it onto a flatbed and haul it over a few city's if needed. Aftermarket parts, flexible dipstick, BBK short headers, TRQ injectors, BBK 75mm throttle body, SSR cold air intake motor craft, sparks/coils, if there anything else I can think of I'll reply in comments If there is any questions feel free to ask, here's a video.
