3. Delayed/Hard shift from 1st to 2nd. Jerks. All other gears are fine. Surges at low speed or idle. In 1st gear or reverse rolling slowly or at a stop the engine will rev up to 10 rpm if it is just idling at 5. Might kick up twice while sitting at a red light. Going slowly in reverse this happens a lot.
4. When slowing to a stop the ABS comes on, you can feel it in the brake pedal and it makes its noise.

For these two problems ^^: Check your Pressure Boost line going from the intake manifold to the little black box on the driver's side firewall!! Mine was literally packed full of soot, and it solved both of those symptoms just as you described them.
