Wink 97 trans problem

I have had transmission problems for awhile now.
Put the first one in about 5 years ago , it would change fine for a week or two and then not shift down when you stoped or went up a hill for a month or two.
When i would go up my gravel road hill it would almost chock out then change,spin ,change jerk your guts out change again. that way for 4 years,hardly ever changed right. Had to put a new alternator on ,and then the trans changed perfect for about 3 months until it started slipping and stopped working altogether .
Put a used one in ,would take of fine get to about 30 mph,when it should change ,nothing motor rev up have to let of the gas and it would change into I think 3rd and never go into od .
Code on scanner said shift solenoid A ,so I got solenoid shift pack and replaced all 3.
No help still the same ,lasted about a year then quite working completely .
Just put another used one in ,exactly the same right down to the codes.
Some say wires coming to transmission might have a bad place ,broke ,pinched or bad plug in.
Any help would be great
thanks
