E4OD Tranny Problem
After the engine has warmed up, the tranny likes to shift back and forth from 2nd and 3rd and between 3rd and 4th. Once I reach highway speed (50-60mph), this problem goes away. I replaced the throttle positioning sensor (or so it was called, located on the top of the engine on the drivers side) after a trip to the tranny shop for $30 instead of $200 if they did the work. 
Still, the problem exists! It does kinda shift into 2nd sorta hard but the rest of the gear changes are smoother. I would like to sell the truck but don't want to pass this problem on to another person and I would like to catch it before it's too late. I also replaced the tranny fluid and filter when I did the sensor. Tranny fluid looked fine before the change, but was told maybe the filter needed to be changed. Any suggestions?
Truck info:
1989 F250 4x4
7.3L Diesel
Automatic (E4OD)
135,000 miles
