I don't know the answer to your question but here are a couple of web sites, one dealing with Chrysler transmissions, and one that explains how to retrieve error codes, and their meanings. One thing that it stresses quite strongly is to use only ATF+3 transmission fluid. ...Good Luck...

Sounds like its going bad. have you checked your fluids? That might be a good place to start. You might change your fluid and filter. Whom ever built the tranny may have left contaminants or burrs in the tranny and clogged the filter. Most likely the tranny is going but you don't have much to lose by trying the fluid and filter. Good look.

wow thats alot of trannies.... ANYWAY you may need consider your mechanic.. mainly if the mechanic that put the 1st tranny in is the one who also done your other work... you should be having no problems.. it is very uncommon to have 4 transmissions go out on there own.. anyway you should have a mechanic look at the flywheel it may be incorrectly installed and is killing all the trannies... but in this case yes it sounds like your current transmission is going down hill fast..

Is the fluid level full? is the fluid really nasty, or have a burnt smell? Personally if a car had given me that much trouble with a transmission it would be in a junkyard somewhere.

try a transmission service, & don't over fill it..
you can do it your self if you fit under the car. it'll take up to 7 qts of atf & a filter kit.
