P1744 issue

So I had the P1744 issue all of sudden out of the blue. It had one hard shift between 1st to 2nd gear and it drove fine 30 miles until I turned it off and turned it back on the overdrive light started to blink then the check engine light came on. I drove it home and put some Lucas transmission fix in it and disconnected the battery to reset the PCM. It drove good for almost a week then started to act up but this time 1st to 2nd gear would wind up and not shift until I took my foot off the gas then it would shift. She's sitting now until I have some time to put her on the lift but where would I start? Anyone else have something like this happened before? Thanks in advance!

You need to have some one with an IDS or an equivalent scanner run a few tests and see if the solenoid is responding..
