If it has been diagnosed by qualified tech/shop as internal to trans your options are limited used trans, reman trans, or repair yours. The car is 14 yrs old so it would be worthwhile to rebuild if out and apart. Installing updated parts with in reason,(the focus should be electrical or hard parts showing distress) not every updated part ever made. Used trans you will be looking for a 95 trans - make sure it has some kind of warranty.

You have to buy custom made chip. They don't sell even performance chips off the shelf any more. F.A.S.T. might make you one that disables TCC with no SES light. No clue as to cost.
