Transmission Fluid Leaking Problems of Lincoln MKZ

Transmission hard shift from 1-2 and 3-4, started experiencing problem approximately 24,000 mi have taken to dealership twice(once in Feb for 4 days) and second time in Mar for 7 days), first time said it was leaking fluid and replaced "o" ring. A couple of weeks later in March returned, was getting worse, said they rebuilt the transmission. Shifts as if someone hit me in rear when increasing speed pulling away from traffic light on a city street or merging onto highway. Now makes a whining noise when accelerating from traffic light of merging, anytime shifting gears in general.

While entering access ramp to highway, at approx 30 mph, the transmission shifted hard and I noticed the tachometer rise to 4000rpm and stay at that level. The vehicle would not shift. I did manage to enter the highway but the highest speed I could garner was 55mph all the while the tach stayed at 4-5000 rpm and continued to race. Since that time, I have noticed leaking fluids from the transmission and informed that I need a new transmission.
