Check your TV cable to see if it is adjusted correctly. If that throttle valve is opened up all the way it increases the line pressure and either hangs the gears open longer or shifts hard. (IIRC) The E4Od has an electric solenoid to control the line pressue (IIRC.) Either that or there is some gunk in the valve body hanging up a valve and upping the pressure.
