Yes adjust the bands first and see if it cures the
prob.
It may also be worn clutch pac than overhall
Don't use cheap trans fluid, Chrysler ATF +4 or
amsoil universal sythetic work good in these trans
Don't use dextron

jeffnovi...you might wanna start dealing with another Dodge dealer. Larry's right about the tranny fluid...ATF +4 is what's recommended.
Larry,
Now that the cold weather just set in yesterday my tranny has realized it and started acting up again. I noticed that when I'm accelerating up to speed, my RPMs will go up normal...then when it shifts, my RPMs will rev up prolly 1000 RPMs (I'm guessing...can't remember exactly) while shifting. It shifts smooth though and doesn't jerk into gear or anything... a little too smooth for my liking since I've read how wonderful smooth shifts are on a tranny. Do you think that could be from one of the solenoids/sensors on the tranny?

Just to give jeffnovi306 a little encouragement, I have a 93 that has been slipping some since I bought it. Last weekend I changed the fluid and adjusted both bands, and it shifts MUCH better. No more slipping. The difference is dramatic.
In case you are wondering, adjusting the bands isn't too difficult. If you have the Haynes manual, the instructions are pretty good. If not, one of the band adjustments is located on the driver's side above the neutral safety switch. It has a 3/4" lock nut, and a square screw. Back the nut off, and then tighten the screw to 72 inch-lbs. Then back it off 2.25 turns. Tighten the lock nut.
There is a similiar screw that you access by removing the transmission pan. Once again, back off the lock nut, tighten the screw to 72 inch-lbs, but back off 2 turns. Tighten the lock nut.
On mine, I didn't back the screw out enough, and the transmission bound up when trying to shift from 2 to 3. Fortunately backing the screw out on the outside of the transmission fixed that.

Get that fluid changed and the dextron out of
there that guy is a horses A$$. Chrysler
specificly says not to use it no wonder your
having problems.
Use ATF +4 chrysler or Amsoil universal.

Sounds like your trans temp sensor is bad if the
trans only acts up when its cold outside.
In the cooling line near the Rad change it.
