The clutches are engaged using hydraulic pressure. The input shaft from the engine to the transmission runs the hydraulic pump which causes EVERYTHING to happen inside the transmission. A section of the transmission called the valve body is responsible for routing pressurized oil to engage the different clutches. Any point that results in low hydraulic pressure will cause the clutches to slip or fail to completely engage. Low hydraulic pressure can be caused by: low fluid level, a worn hydraulic pump, leaking seals in the valve body or even a partially blocked Transmission Fluid filter. Unfortunately, a blocked filter usually means clutch debris has built up to block the filter which causes the clutches to wear rapidly. Bottom line, once your transmission reaches the point you describe, it's probably done. If it's caused by anything other than low fluid, you need to either rebuild or replace the transmission. Even if it's low fluid the transmission could be permanantly damaged. I wish I could offer better future.

your input clutch assembly is probably burnt up you will have to smell the fluid or have some transmission technician check the clutch volume indexes with a drb (diagnostic tool)AnswerActually it's probably your spped sensor that is located on the trans. Chrysler has always had a problem with them. My car just did the same thing, part is about $ 30. AnswerI friend of mine had the transmission replaced on his '94 Concorde about two yers ago. It was horribly expensive: more than two thousand dollars! Your car is probably stuck in " Limp Home Mode ", which is when the cars computer senses something bad is going to happen to the trans so it will only allow the car to run in reverse or 2nd gear.Crans
Check and make sure all the plugs going to the ECU and PCM are plugged in.
In the transmission dipstick tube, while the engine is running. Use a funnel that's not going to flip over when it gets full.
The oil pressure switch is located on the passenger-side of the engine, about halfway up the engine block. It is only visible from under the car, and has a yellow-green plug going into the end of it.
Due to the recession Chrysler car company is going out of business.
On the driver side of the transmission case there are two sensors that have two wires going to them. The input sensor is the one closer to the front.
It's located on the lower right side of the housing with a 6 prong connector with 5 wires going to it. When removes it will have curled looking wires. Do not touch the wires if just removed as they can and will burn you.
You probable don't check you re transmission fluid and its dirty or low, or maybe you played around with the auto-stick feature too much and ran too low or too high of rpms, but wither way, sounds like your transmission is going out.
