HELP NEEDED WITH CHECK ENGINE CODES ON A 94 RAM

I performed the ignition switch on/off trick and uncovered the following codes:
33,78,55
Could someone please help me decipher what they might be. My transmission is going haywire and it feels like the torque converter is going out.
Thanks.

Code 33 >>>
Synopsis
Description: Air conditioning cut-out relay circuit is open or shorted
Power loss light: Off
Limp-in mode: None
Possible Causes
Bad connection or wiring - Check the wiring and connections between the logic module and the relay. Clean and regrease any corroded connectors with dielectric grease and repair any shorts.
Bad relay - Disconnect the relay and apply 12V across the coil terminals (dark blue wire on single connector and dark blue with orange stripe on 3-terminal connector). You should hear a click and the connection between the other two terminals should be shorted.
Diagnostic Method
Trigger Parameters
- Near 0V or near 12V not detected when the relay is turned on or off, respectively
Results If Component Fails
Fault code 33 is stored.
Code 55 >>> (End Of Faults Fault Code... LOL! Means Nothing)
Synopsis
Description: End of message
Power loss light: Off
Limp-in mode: None
Possible Causes
No further fault codes are stored. If this is the only code received, then there are no codes stored in memory. This code will always be given, even if nothing is wrong. If you do not get this code, then you may not be retreiving the codes properly, or the power loss light may be burnt out. The light should come on for 1 second when the ignition is initally turned on as a bulb test.
Diagnostic Method
Trigger Parameters
- No further codes in memory
I'm still looking on the 78 code.![Wink](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
