Hey Crazygn, sounds like you might need a rebuild buddy, but im no tranny expert.. 
My tranny did the same thing this spring when I took it outta storage, except it was worse. Mine would shift only if i hit 4500 rpm in first. and when stopping, it wouldn't upshift so the car would stall when slowing down unless manually shifting. When it was cold, it shifted better, but still delayed. As soon as it warmed up, it was back to how it was. My govevor springs were all good too. Apparantly, the thrust washers blew out and caused all sorts of damage, but nothing noticable by just pulling the pan. When i had mine rebuilt, I had them put in an 87 servo, and a art carr shift kit, and the change for me was like night and day. Felt like a totally different car. I would try and take your car to a local tranny shop and see what they find..

I don't think iam going to have that type of money to rebuild it any time soon , i might have to put my brothers pontiac turbo 350 that was just rebuilt with a shift kit in it.
Thanks for the help
