I am still not certain that the "valve body" gasket repair will fix my truck's transmission since engine braking still occurs in 1st gear. The TSB also mentions no second or third gear also, but my transmission still does have second and third gears. The only problem the transmission has at this point is that it lags when shifting from first to second.

RCWMTW,
I would really like to know if the "valve body" repair will cure your transmission's troubles as well since I haven't found an answer to the problems I am having with my transmission.

I guess I'll keep checking the transmission out and see if things change.
