Possible transmission Solenoid failure
My TX has only 2 solenoids, one for Overdrive one for the torque converter lock up. It is a chrysler A-500 from 1989, also called the 42-RH. Basically a 904 with a overdrive housing tacked onto it....

The problem is that this transmission does not use bands, having replaced them a few generations earlier with braking clutches that are not adjustable. My impression of the site's usefulness went to zero.
That link above implies that this transmission uses more than just two solenoids, but maybe MoPar phased more of them in during its long production cycle.
When I had a '87 Dodge I was questioning if the torque converter was locking. I tapped the wire for the lock solenoid and ran it to an LED inside the cabin. (I know this verified only the electrical part, not the mechanical).
