If you are refering to me then you have overated me. I have a lot of automotive experience and am somewhat familiar with the automatic trannys. 86k 10 is the expert and he works on them a lot. I saw the red stuff on the checkball too and was wondering what it was.
From what I read about your shifting problem the book lists several probable causes. It's like asking why is my engine missing. There are so many reasons that it will slip or not shift that it may take a teardown to find the culprit. Two that may cause the problem are govenor weights and springs and tv cable not adjusted correctly. There are several references to the clutches and that is why 86k 10 asked if it worked ok after it shifted into third.
Jwil41 It sounds to me like you may have a sticking TV cable . The TV valve controls downshifts as well as upshifts. Take the cable off the carb and work it by hand and see if you feel any binding.
