When it feels like it won't go, try putting the shifter down to manual 1st. If it goes then you either have one of two things going on, the valve body is bad or the governor pressure solenoid is faulty. The solenoid is cheaper than the valve body

I had that problem a while back in the winter season,it turned out to be that the diesel fuel was starting to freeze up,I just started adding anti gell to thefuel and the problem went away.So if you live in a cold state you might want to try that before spending your money on other fixes.
Good luck Mike

Wow. Aint it great when a problem can be solved with a 6 dollar bottle, vs a 1100-1500 dollar TC? Glad it was a minor issue.
