I checked the transmission tsb's on your list against alldata - can't find 21-015-05, 21-016-05 or 21-018-05 there. Would really like to know what's repaired in those tsb's. Are theses TSBs all for the CRD Liberty?
It's an old TSB I have had this one done on our CRD.

NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with the a 45RFE or a 545RFE
automatic transmission (sales code DG4 or DGQ respectively).
Overview:
This bulletin involves verifying the build date of the transmission, and if necessary, replacement
of the transmission cooler return filter inside the transmission.
Symptom/Condition:
The customer may experience an initial delayed shift engagement following an extended off
(not running) period of time, generally after being parked overnight. The initial shift engagement
may feel like a delay or slip when a transmission gear (reverse or drive) is first selected after
engine start.
The customer may also experience a MIL illumination. Investigation may determine that the
MIL is due to one or more of the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s):
P0868 - Line Pressure Low. This DTC will be the most frequently occurring DTC for the delayed shift condition.
P0731 - Gear Ratio Error In 1st.
P0736 - Gear Ratio Error In Reverse.
P0841 - LR Pressure Switch Rationality.
P0876 - UD Pressure Switch Rationality.
P0944 - Loss Of Hydraulic Pump Prime.
The condition may be caused by a suspect cooler return filter with a part number of
04799662AB. The suspect cooler return filter may allow transmission fluid to drain back out of
the torque converter when the engine is not running.

Discussion:
The customer may experience an initial delayed shift engagement following an extended off
(not running) period of time, generally after being parked overnight. The initial shift engagement
may feel like a delay or slip when a transmission gear (reverse or drive) is first selected after
engine start.
The customer may not have experienced the delayed shift engagement until after the
transmission has been serviced, where the cooler return filter was replaced during the service
and/or repair.
The condition is not detrimental to the transmission but may cause concern with the customer.
The above condition may be caused by a suspect cooler return filter a part number of
04799662AB. This “AB” suffix / level filter may allow transmission fluid to drain back out of
the torque converter. The drain back condition may occur over a period time when the engine
(and transmission) are not running. With less fluid in the torque converter a delay in gear
engagement may occur at engine start up while the torque converter fills to its proper fluid
level.
All 04799662AB cooler return filters with the “AB” suffix are suspect. The above condition may
be corrected by replacing a suspect “AB” filter with a new cooler return filter whose part
number is 04799662 (with no suffix or with a suffix that is other than the “AB” level).
NOTE: The cooler return filter, p/n 04799662, will not be available until
September 09, 2005. The filter part number is stenciled on the side of the filter
case.
NOTE: A replacement 04799662 cooler return filter may come packaged with a
separate threaded adapter stud. The threaded adapter stud is used to attach
the cooler return filter to the transmission. Inspect the stud and note end
without threads. Install the stud end without the threads into the cooler return
filter and tighten the stud-to-filter connection to 18.6 Nm (165 in. lbs.). Once the
threaded adapter stud has been installed to the cooler return filter, install the
assembled cooler return filter to the transmission and tighten the filter to
14.1 Nm (125 in. lbs.)
TSB 21-18-05
This bulletin provides a procedure to determine repair versus replacement of an automatic
transmission assembly. Follow the proper repair procedure based on the transmission type.
This procedure is to be used after the transmission has been removed from the vehicle.
Every replaced transmission assembly returned to DaimlerChrysler must include a
properly completed Diagnostic CheckSheet. This sheet must be attached to the
transmission bellhousing. Refer to Warranty Bulletin D-05-20 for additional information.
