Sounds like your long overdue a transmission rebuild. The longer you drive it in bad condition the most likely you start wearing out parts that are non replaceable and trash the whole transmission.

If you want check this transmission diagnostics chart. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...agnostics.html

I was afraid of that. About how much does a tranny rebuild cost?

It all depends on where you go and if you pull it out your self. $1,000 - $2,000.
