For the late shifting, have you tried loosening the detent cable 1-2 turns. How late is it shifting? 1-2 is a slightly prolonged shift on those transmission.

Thanks for this. I'll look these up.
Re: detente cable. I haven't touched anything at this point aside from the kickdown switch. It doesn't want to change until it's screaming pretty bad. Not ideal - it's definitely far from normal (at least not compared to my old '74 240D automatic)
