Angry 02 R/T Transmission problem

Went to back up and pull out of the driveway this morning only to find I had the emergency break on, after releasing the break the transmission seemed slow to engage but drove fine. Drove home from work this afternoon with no problems though I did notice a slight ticking noise, got home to park and transmission slow to engage again. Just went for pizza but only made it about 1/4 of a block and trans won't engage at all now. Any ideas ?

Auto stick by the way, thanks.

Do you have a 3.0 engine or the chrysler powertrain?

The problem could be inside the transmission and here is why. In drive- abnormal line pressure, underdrive clutch or valve body. Reverse clutch, Low/reverse brake or valve body.

Thanks for the reply. Car is sitting at Lee Myles waiting for a rebuild..(the place came highly recommended), but it may b time for a new vehicle..( I've got my eye on this one):
