Check to make sure all of the seals are on the prnd pressure switch were it bolts to the valve body. These seal can come off.

I have also thought that the new prnd pressure switch was bad so replaced with an ac delco so I have actually put 2 new ones on it

So how are the rubber seals around each port?
No gasket right? I pulled a core apart recently and found a gasket there, the only one I've ever seen. Should not have a gasket.

Rubber seals good, look at the wiring. Hook your scanner up with the switch unbolted and press each port to see if the scanner picks it up.

Aren't there five? There should be five.
When the problem happens does it stop shifting?

Yes that's what it looks like it actually shifts into neutral with my scanner hooked up it reads park/neutral checked the seals there all good

So it drives for 5 minutes then stops moving?

If you can, the next time it does this don't cycle the key just unplug the harness from the transmission, it should drive in third only. If it doesn't move you have an internal problem.

Maybe you could just unplug the harness first and drive for 5 minutes. If it still goes to neutral maybe do a pressure test. If the pressure doesn't change you need to disassemble the whole thing and start over. Disassemble it, air test everything, find the problem.

If it drive for 5 minutes then stops moving and the after setting a bit moved again for 5 minutes sounds like the filter is clogged perhaps if new the screen sucked up into the inlet, No electrical issue or sensor could account for no movement. Even a missing seal on the pressure manifold sensor could not stop both forward and rev movement and doubtful forward would be more like badly slipping from the leak and wound not drive 5 minutes then stop,
Also note you have 2 sources and reading for the manual positions the pressure sensor when the car is running and the prnd321 switch, Now if the car quits moving because you have lost pressure due to a restricted filter the you would have just the P/N reading from the pressure sensor during this time but it should be normal when the car is moving.
I think I would change the filter first and see what happens

As mentioned, nothing electrical needs to be working/connected for Reverse. If you are also losing Reverse, then you have lost pressure and a clogged or wrong filter is likely.
