Note that the OP is not ready to do a rebuild at this time; the K1 & K2 pistons are some of the last parts to be accessed during disassembly of the box. Perhaps you had the B1 & B2 pistons in mind; they are externally accessible.

Mongoose:
The recurrence of the gratuitous 4-3 downshift points yet again to low pressure. Suggest that you try the above recommendation to crank up the modulator pressure. That step is the easiest one to do, has no cost and very little labor involved. Repeated fluid changes are, at this point, a tactic of diminishing returns.
