Default 1-2 Funny shift characteristics

After reading some I'm interested in ya'lls opinions on my tranny again. I'm having a funny 1-2 shift.

On cold starts (mornings or after sitting for a few hours) my 1-2 shift kind of stumbles at light throttle, however shifts very nicely at higher throttle positions. After it warms up a bit this stumble goes away, but the 1-2 shift gets overly harsh almost to the point of a clunk while shifting.

I've checked my TV cable, its not broken and seems to be adjusted correctly. IfI advance it a little bit the stumble is SLIGHTLY less pronounced but the shift while warm getsharsher, retarding the cable a little bit does the opposite. Fluid level is good and clean, I just flushed and changed the filter/band adjustment (this was happening prior to the fluid change).

I've thought about maybe the Valve body being gunked up a little but thought I'd check for other ideas before dropping the pan again.

Thanks
Jerrod
