Before you do that, pull the governor (you can do this through the
hoood) and clean it and blow out the small orifices.  My tranny
is having your same symptoms, and I am in the process of putting
it back into the car (the governor, that is).  I found I had some
junk blocking the passageway through the governor orifice, so I
am hoping that this will fix it.  :-)
