Is the engine light on and are there any codes showing up bec if it's a transmission control issue there should be a code.
Try putting the key in the ignition then place it in the run position then turn it backwards to the aux position then back up to the run position then back to the aux position then back to the run position and leave it there.The engine light should be lit a second then it should start to light up again , example it flashes once then pauses then flashes twice in a row that is code 12= battery has been disconnected at some point of time within the last 50 to starting 100 cycles.When all the codes are finished or there is no more stored codes code 55 will show up.
Really you need to know if any codes exist and work from there but are the speedo and rpm gauges working on it or is the rpm gauge going up high bec it has only the basic gear and its in the limp mode?
If no codes involving the transmission relay circuit etc exist it could be a case of a worn out transmission or simply worn out transmission fluids or a dirty transmission filter.See Dodge uses a special chemical additive in their transmission fluids and it is designed to stop the kicking or bucking or slipping issues , plus can wear out and cause such problems.
Do yourself a huge favor and don't rush into spending any cash until you have several opinions or diagnoses bec those are misdiagnosed a lot.
Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way find out what the codes are and get back to me I can offer you much more help once I know what codes exist and if its the solenoid pack that could cost you from 250 to 350 bucks for parts and labor .
