First I would check the grounds. Bad grounds, which is very common, cause all sorts of problems with these cars. It could be a simple solution to your gearbox issues. Also, I would double check the transmission fluid.
As for the brakes... my first action would be to replace the accumulator. Use a junkyard part if you're not comfortable dishing out the money for a new one.
good luck.
