Default Automatic Stealth has trouble shifting

Okay this is an off and on problem

i recently drove down my stealth from Virginia to Florida

which is about an 11 & half hour drive

anyway after arriving to florida the next morning

i take my mom to the airport and i notice my automatic shifting is going crazy again

It takes a while for it to shift gears and when it does i get a real bad shift shock

even when switching to reverse it takes longer than normal

I had this problem before but it went away, but now its back

any ideas on what the problem is??

could be tcu, i would check that first because i belive it have same problem as ecu, which is leaking capacitors. Then i would check mechanical, meaning rebuild.

I have a dodge stealth r/t with ecs for some reason the car will not get out of second gear from start of car and on... also the tour sport light is flashing on the car and the abs light stays on. Do you think this could be an electrical issue causeing all of the problems or are these problems all seprate?
