Dude, you are just going to have to suffer through trying to decipher that hosed up service manual.
I know it's a PIA.
I'm used to having the damn book in my hands to look at too.
At least on my computer, acrobat sucks a fat hog.
I should buy another copier cartridge and a stack of paper and put it all on a readable touchable format.
Yes I predate the internet.

Mine does this as well sometimes, I'll race people here & there and I'll catch it just revving up & up but not shifting till I let go of the gas. Doesn't happen everytime.

I asked my father about it, if he had any idea what it could be & he simply said "It's a 15 year old transmission, sometimes you gotta be easy on it".

Check the transmission TV cable make sure its adjusted right.
