TBH, this trans seems too healthy and strong to be replaced. It's as if something (like a defective relay or kickdown switch is telling it: "don't shift yet".
No, the relay is a power supply to the KD circuit; a fault in the relay that cut off power to the KD circuit would result in early WOT shifts.
A fault in the KD switch, or in the "B" switch in the gear selector, that caused the KD solenoid to be energized, would result in late shifts.
