1. Worn Forward clutch.
2. Brake band Adjustment.
3. Bad resistor.
4. Accumulator
5. TPS

Anyone have any other ideas?
As we now know, the trouble was caused by the valve body being fitted with the wrong A solenoid. Instead of a normally open valve, the Level 10 body had a normally closed valve, that caused it to produce high pressure at Idle, low pressure at full throttle.
They replaced the valve with the right one to fix the problem.

This was the thread.
