I'd check the vacuum modulator and make sure that the hose is connected. If 
it's connected, pull it off and see if you get a lot of oil out of there. If 
you do, is it red? If it is red, then it is ATF and the VM diaphram is leaking 
and you need a new VM.

If none of this pans out, post which shifts are hard, down or up, 1-2, 2-3, 3-
2, 2-1, etc.
