Car looses power, won't start, clicking, etc.

about a week ago, i got the car back from the tranny shop...
the car was starting and running fine, but then I turned it off, went in to eat, came out, and it would not start. came back a few hours later, car started right up, drove it a few miles down the road, went into low rpm, car died, used jumper cables, and a few minutes later, it fired up, it died ago about 1 minute later. let the car set again, and it started right up. charged the battery, put it in the car, it fired right up, drove about 4 miles, and the car died once again at low rpm, except it has not started since...

fuel pump is good, battery is good, i turn the key, starter is good, but it will not fire up, after a few times of trying, the car will just click, then i can come back 2 minutes or so later, and the process will repeat

when i connect the battery, i hear a clicking nose, and a seperate very loud very repititive clicking nose, sounding like its coming from the passenger headlight motor, the headlight motor noise, also happens when i shut the headlights

here is what i have done/tested:

battery--tested fine
alternator--tested fine
fuses--any that were blown have been replaced

any ideas?
