With so many miles on your car, it's possible the tranny was ready to go anyway. Chrysler transmissions are notorious for failing right at 100,000 miles.

First double check all of your sensors/wires/connectors to make sure they're not loose or disconnected. If your computer is reading a faulty signal, it'll prevent your engine from shifting.

Next have your computer scanned with a scanner capable of reading transmission codes.
