Have you checked for error codes using a code reader? Hard to diagnose since the engine could be misfiring when idling in gear, or there may be a problem in the transmission (e.g. front oil pump or torque converter).

SOURCE: should I change the transmission fluid in my Dodge

Unless you haul heavy loads or live in mountainous country 69,000 KM is to soon, if you do not meet the severe duty category I outlined above change the transmission fluid at 95,000 KM or 60,000 miles. If you meet the severe duty criteria then change the fluid and filter every 50,000 KM or 30,000 miles
