Transmission slipping (4x4 Control Module???)

My 02 explorer is shifting hard from 2-3. It is also slipping a little from 3-4 around 3k rpm. I took it to the [FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]dealership[/FONT][/FONT] today since my warranty is up in 1000 miles. They said that it is the 4x4 control module causing the problem, they said there is a TSB on it. They wanted $600 to fix since it is not covered by the warranty. I've been doing some research on here about the module but everything on here sounds like people having problems with shifting in and out of 4x4 not overall transmission problems. My question is would the 4x4 control module effect my shifting? If so I saw some people were unplugging it and running without it. If it is the true problem then it should shift fine without it I just wouldnt have 4x4? Is that correct? If I was to do that how safe is it?
