Part throttle shifts are delayed. Wants to hold it's gears forever. Only shifts when you let off the pedal or let it wind out till it finally shifts on it's own. When it does shift they are firm, with no clunking or jerking, or flaring, or any other behavior that would indicate trouble with the trans itself. WOT shifts are perfect, and occur when they should (except 4th of course).
I pulled the plug to the KD switch under the pedal, no change. Do I still need to pull the wire from the KD solenoid too?
There is a tranny "cold shift softener" switch over valve, as seen here on Dave's site

Could a malfunction here cause an issue? I haven't tryed to bypass that thing yet cause I wouldn't know where to start.
