You have to try to eliminate systems that ARE working to find the ones that aren't. The transmission isn't a likely cause. Most likely is electrical with fuel being a close second. Since you have a fuel smell I would concentrate on the electrical. Determine if ,when it dies, you have spark or not. Some of the usual suspects include, bad connections on the ballast resistor, intermittant pick-up coil, dying ignition coil.
