just a quick update. I drained the oil, (all 8.5liters of it...you know, that chrysler atf+4 crap) and dropped the pan. THanks MB DOC and all the others for your help and Guidance, and supplying me with tech drawings. I am trying to trouble shoot the valve body and compare it to the old one. THe new valve body, it looks like some one was in here before. A 5 point bolt is stripped, not the only one, but the only one I can't get out, and I am not going to touch it with an easy-out. I will try to test the solenoids, look at the valve springs, clean it up and reinstall and see if I have shifting. To my surprise, I did find metal shavings in the pan on the "new" transmission. Is some small metal particles normal? Also found some very old fluid in the valve body, like the valve never opened. I should have it back on this afternoon.
