Low fluid level on your tranny would also cause it to search between gears. Low idle stumble is also cause by a dirty throttle body. When running, I will pull the hose leading to the manifold intake and spray crc throttle body cleaner pointed towards the butterfly, open the throttle when your doing this or it will stall. I had a Dakota and a Durango experiencing this issue and it cleared it up for me on both. The Dakota was bought brand new, at about 30000 miles it wouldnt stay running, the dealer said there was nothing wrong,but offered to clean my injectors for a crazy price. I said no, took it home and used the spray, it cleared right up.

Could be a bad TPS.


Also first try and clean the Throttle Body and see if that helps.
