Well to me, it looks like the line pressure is low. Disconnecting the resistor, gives full throttle pressure. Low pressure can be caused by the screen in the pan, being restricted, or from a lot of wear..
You could get the line pressure checked, but if it is low, there is not much you can do, other than, get one of Svxfiles resistors that will allow a bit more line pressure,and drive it in 3rd below 40mph.
