Also do I have to replace the whole tranny or just these parts?

I'll bite

The red fluid is indicative of a leak in your transmission, don't drive your car any more until you get it fixed or you'll burn your clutches

It depends on how long you drove the car without fluid, if you didn't drive any distance low on fluid you should be good

Pic related is the part i think fell out

The transmission will not operate because there's no fluid in it. Replace that part, fill with new fluid and it should be fine. Automatic transmissions cannot engage gears without fluid so you will not be going anywhere. Call a tow truck.

Yesssss this is it.......so what do I do now? Do I just have to put a computer to check the diagnostic?

Either tow it to a trans shop or pay a trans shop tech to come and take a look at it, not too well versed with transmissions but i do know that the part that fell out is a servo piston that either actuates tightening bands to engage gears, or actuates clutch packs themselves to engage gears... i would bet it's the first one because i don't think you can actuate clutch packs directly from an outside mounted part

Either way it is certainly not something you can do at home, expect it to be a little pricey unfortunately
