E4OD 3rd to OD shift lag

On my completely stock 92 460-7.5 E4OD sometimes when it shifts from 3rd to OD it feels like it kicks down a gear before going in OD, not all the time and its not neutral either. Has 99k miles on it.
Fresh fluid and filter. I replaced the neutral MLPS twice with Ford original from JY does the same thing.
I tried a Standard brand but it failed in less then 1k miles no start in P then no start in N.
No check engine light on, OD light stays on when selected(no flashing). No error codes on OBD1 scanner.
Any ideas?? thanks

Is this the original E4OD?

I ask not because I know how to fix it, but rather because it seems like 100k is the Average Life Expectancy of these (ask me how I know this sometime).

Good luck, and I sincerely hope you get it fixed....without having to replace it!

Is it possible that 4th gear has shifted and the additional clunk is the converter locking? Sometimes when the converter locks, it feels as if there is another gearshift.
