It is just hard to get around town when you know that your car will begin to act out at any given moment.

It helps if you list year, model, and engine with questions.

The only one on your list that's a trouble code is the E 39, which is a VCC (Viscous Converter Clutch) engagement problem. This can be indicative of transmission trouble brewing, or something as simple as low trans fluid or a plugged filter.

Sorry my car is a 1993 deville 4.9 with 160k.

At 160k, you've about reached the typical service life of the factory trans. The E39 code is your early warning. Some people drive for years with the code, others are not so fortunate.
If you can stomach the cost to rebuild, you'll get another 160k out of the car.
