I would head to a shop and have them check for transmission specific codes and read the Clutch Volume Index (CVI) numbers. They can also apply pressures at the test ports to test shift points etc.

Using only ATF+4 fluid? PRNDL indication ok? Any problems with the speedometer? If so, try a new output speed sensor. Tranny and speedo use it as a reference.
