The drop resistor would explain the harsh shift, but not the slipping, or the no 4th gear problem. You can try to unplug the drop resistor and see if it gets worse, or if it has no effect. If it has no effect, I would replace it. Your other issues sound like and internal failure.

Have you been driving it in this condition long?
