The usual trouble area is the kickdown switch under the accelerator pedal. It's a bad environment and the switch can stick closed due to accumulated dirt in this location.
When the switch is closed, the shifts are severely delayed..........you might get it to shift out of first above 4000 rpm..........if you went that high.
