Default Transmission Throwing 8 Codes

Hey Guys,
My daughter bought a 1995 Ford Ranger Splash V6 3.0 w/ automatic transmission 160,000 mile. When I saw it after she had already bought it... No going back. I immediately saw the O/D Off light was blinking. Took it to O'reillys and it is throwing 8 different codes. They are listed as follows.
P0715 Turbine/Input shaft speed sensor A Circuit
P0743 Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit Electrical
P0750 Shift Solenoid A Malfunction
P0755 Shift Solenoid B Malfunction
P0760 Shift Solenoid C Malfunction
P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor A circuit (Bank 1 or single sensor)
P1443 No DTC definition Found
P0401 Exhaust gas recirculation flow insufficient detected

Driving Symptoms, Does not shift. You can put it in Drive and it will go but very slowly up to about 35 MPH then it has some more get up and go. Can drive at 65 MPH at about 3000RPM. You never feel it shift up or down. You can manually shift from 1st to 2nd to drive and feel it shift. It is pretty smooth with manual shifting. Have not looked at the tranny fluid yet just got it last night. Could really old bad tranny fluid cause the error codes? Should I just replace the ABC solenoids while I have the pan off to change the transmission fluid. The one that worries me the most is this, P0743 Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit Electrical. I think that solenoid is around 320.00. OR should I just have a whole new tranny put in it? any input is appreciated. The saving Grace here is the Engine sounds great. Or do I just sell it off and she eat the loss. She paid 2200.00

It is in failsafe mode 3rd gear. Don’t continue to drive it till problems are found. Check the fuses and the main electrical connector on the transmission case. It is not getting power to the transmission. Fuse # 26 is a 15amp for transmission.

Checked all the fuses and resistors and all are good. I will get it up on jacks this weekend and check the electrical connection. Thank you! For your advice!

Whenever you get a mass of codes like that, it is almost never really that many things wrong but like transman said... A single common circuit, fuse, or connection failure.

I would look for any common links to the cam position sensor, canister purge valve (thats the p1443 code), and the EGR as well. (i don't have the wiring diagrams for your year). But it IS probable those 3 codes are unrelated and actually need to be addressed individually.
