Referring to the service manual, you wil see that the auto tranny has completely different shift schedules during temperature extremes.
The fluid isn't the reason. It's the TCM and trans fluid temp sensor that control shifts.

I can't tell you from the internet anymore than I could guess what you had for lunch.
You need a diagnostic scanner to record the datastream and determine what, if anything, is out of range. The clutch volume index would tell if a clutch pack is faulty.

Didn't know Amzoil made an ATF + 4. Do they make an ATF + 5? Would that be suitable to put in power steering since the power steering takes ATF?

Amsoil does not make an ATF+4. They make a fluid they claim is compatible with ATF+4.
Valvoline is the only company who manufactures ATF+4 for Chrysler.

No, they don't.
Only Valvoline manufacutes ATF+4. Think about this: Only Kleenex(tm) actually manufactures Kleenex(tm). However, there are many brands of 'facial tissue' that perform the same function. Any tranny fluid that says ATF+4 on the bottle, is only ATF+4 compatible. (unless it's made by Valvoline. Check the MSDS sheets. They hold the patent.

Why would I get ATF + 4 if ATF + 5 surpasses ATF + 4? Isn't ATF + 5 superior? [:I]

ATF+5 is a fully synthetic version of ATF+4.
The upgrade would be the same as a personal choice to use synthetic oil over conventional.
