Has anyone experienced this and have a way ahead they can point me? Fluid used was Pentosin ATF-1. Any help would be appreciated!
P0733 is basically telling you what you already know: It is slipping in 3rd gear.

You need to be very careful about which type and brand fluid you use in these transmissions, they really do not take kindly to the wrong fluid, which can permanently damage them:



If you cannot find the correct fluid in the aftermarket, go to the dealer and buy it from them; in the long term, your wallet will thank you.......
