Seems like the other post is locked so I'll follow-up here. When I downshift manually to first the transmission responds well and normal, but as I understand it there are different components being used in manual 1st both in the transmission and the valve body. I think the 2-1 shift IS happening because when I INITIALLY take off it seems bogged down but if I press the gas further it seems to finally lock up and get going. My first thought was the FWD clutches slipping, but then I think it would ALWAYS slip not just under slight throttle conditions. I'll let you know what happens. Tommorow I will add a bit more fluid and see if the problem gets fixed, you never know... I don't see how it could be anything else.
BTW, Tomorrow it's going to be put under a test of fire, I'll let you know why later, I don't want to ruin the surprise.
