There are a few things that can cause this. First, plugged cooler lines from the transmission to the cooler, which usually is built into the radiator, or mounted in front of it. Second, plugged transmission cooler. Third, plugged filter in the transmission. Fourth, overloading the transmission. Fifth, if the cooler is in the radiator tank, and the engine is running too hot, it will also prevent it from cooling the transmission.

1995 Eagle Summit 1.8 Liter with automatic transmission suddenly behaves as if always in neutral with no unusual noises and no prior symptoms?
The first thing to check is transmission fluid level. Start the car and let it warm up to normal running temperature. With the engine still running, pull the dipstick for the transmission fluid and verify that it's in the "hot" range. If you are low on fluid, look for any transmission fluid leaks. Look primarily around the oil seals where the axel enters the transmission, and inspect the gasket for the transmission pan.
