Transmission runs fine with a/c off. turn a/c on and after 5 miles or so, transmission slips into 2nd gear. all gear indicator lights circle, like you are in all gears. engine light comes on. you have to turn engine off and sit 10- 15 minutes, or when you start engine and try to drive it will still be stuck in 2nd gear. if you let it sit awhile then start it, it will run fine. engine light usually stays on remainder of day. next morning engine light will be off like normal. been driving like this 2 years. just don't turn a/c on.

Dear wramlal
I had the same problem, drove home just like you did, took it to my mechanic and he changed the "speed sensor " problem solved. "

Sounds like either the lock up converter or solenoid that operates it is "going away" Which trans is in it? I've had a similar problem (just the thump) In an aw4 trans in a Jeep, which I've isolated to those two components but it's too damn cold out to do anything about it yet!!! If the converter is staying locked, vehicle will be sluggish on starts from standstill when this is happening.

your ultradrive transmisson has failed, and your stuck in limp home mode. you have 3rd and reverse.
that was the good news.
the bad is that you need a new transmission. the ultradrive transmissions are very problematic. do a wikipedia.org search on chyrsler ultradrives and than write a really angry letter.
your not the only one that transmission has left of the side of the road
