@ rockit: do you have a scanner that will show you realtime solinoid pressures? With the 4.4 it's not uncommon to develop a hard downshift from 2-1 from seal wear and usually is fixed with seal replacement from my understanding.

With the relatively not terrible prices of the solinoids, often people will choose to hear replace the solinoids with the seals. (I was planning to do that when my transmission started to slam shift before I discovered the dirty connector actually causing the problem)
