Unfortunately, you should have gotten the diagnostic codes for the transmission before messing with the shift solenoid. Most of those dodge shift issues are caused by input and output speed sensors.
This caused by the valve cover gasket leaking, it is a common problem on this car, replace the valve cover gasket to correct the problem, the part is about $15 and takes about 1 hour to install.
If the engine is reving but car not accellerating , then yes , it is the trans if an Auto , or the clutch if it is a standard.
If you are just not able to get any power out of the engine , I would suspect Fuel filter.
No, this is not related. You just happen to lucky enough to have two problems at the same time. If the engine got to a point where is was glowing hot, it could transfer the heat to the cooling lines causing air bubbles in the fluid and henceforth a slipping tranny. However, your engine would seize solid forever given those circumstances.
the trans shift solenoid pack is bolted to the side of the trans closer to the radiator. it is rather large and there are three 10mm bolts holding it to the trans. it is under the input speed sensor and just under the spot where the cooler lines go into the trans.
THE SHIFT SOLENOID NEEDS TO BE REPLACED EITHER INSIDE THE BOTTOM OF THE TRANSMISSION OR ON THE SIDE OF THE TRANS. I WOULD ALSO REPLACE THE TRANS FILTER WHILE THE PAN IS REMOVED. A TRANS FILTER KIT IS AVAILABLE AT MOST AUTO PARTS STORES WHICH INCLUDES A PAN GASKET. YOU WILL NEED ALMOST A GALLON(4 QTS.) OF TRANS FLUID TO FILL IT AFTER DROPPING THE PAN. HOPE THIS HELPS. BEST OF LUCK. THANKS FOR AN HONEST RATING AND FOR USING FIX-YA. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED.
im not a trans. expert but would verify the range sensor (gear indicating sensor) is working properly and the L/R solenoid is ok. those are the 2 suspects for your problem
th e trans solenoid pack is located on the trans just under the air box, it has a cover on it that says DO NOT REMOVE, there are three bolts on the top and the others you will have to drop the pan and valve body to access. there are seals under/behind it that leak.
