Automatic Trans not shifting.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
MY POOR RODEO IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS UNCLE RICO.
The fluid is good. The filter is good.
2001 rodeo ls 2 wheel drive v6 dohc
Shifts thru 2nd then slips out of gear entirely until you slow down to below 20-25mph
pushing the Winter Mode button takes the tranny out out of gear all together.
Replaced the Alternator. Checked the fluid. Cleaned the Range/Mode selector. No change.
Speaking of this mode selector. How does the tentacle function? The tube like thingy that goes from the contact piece up through the black conduit.

Should I get a new mode selector, or just get the tranny rebuilt.
Any good trannies for sale out there?

Wish Uncle Rico would post a follow up or contact me.
Happy New Year
