Hey CW, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, at least I hope you will. I had the same symptoms with my 6hp26 (rough downshift and eveeeerrrrryy now and then a rough 1 to 2 up shift) and I did the pick ups and bridge seal on mine and it wasn't that the seal had "failed" visually that I could see, it was how MUCH HARDER it was than the new one the blew my mind!
Anyway, I did everything you're doing now and when I got it all back together (except for a broken pan bolt that I had to easy out...) it shifted really good! I then drove it for 30 days and did a simple drain and fill and now it shifts amazingly!
I'm rooting for you!! Let us know how it goes
