You should be able to find a lot of discussion of these problems.

You would find out that you need to consider that one of the two speed
sensors is bad causing the limp-home mode. Also consider changing tranny
filter and fluid.

When you say it "slips", is this possibly what is called the "bump shift
problem (i.e., you feel a bump just before it stops)? IOW, what do you
mean by "slips"?

Stupid question: You did check fluid level?

I meant to say you should be able to find a lot of discussion of these
problems by doing a google search on this ng.

IF you are not sure what's in there, have the fluid changed to the correct
Chyrsler fluid. Check the level. Could be that or one of the 2 sensors.
Those are cheap. If not fluid or 2 sensors you are into big bucks but
check those first. When fluid is changed, do not allow them to use any
additive. Also someone recently posted that a Chrysler dealer flushed his
AT and that got things going again. I would tend to stay away from "peanut
butter" lube offers to flush your AT because you have no idea what they will
put in at the end.
