>From your description of the symptoms of your transmission I think you 
are correct in assuming a problem with the shift computer. There are a 
lot of postings in the archives on how to fix it if you want to try. 
It is a safe bet that if you repair or replace it the trans will shift 
fine. With 21,000 miles on it you might want to cut open the trans 
filter and clean it and check the line pressure. Also make sure the 
modulater is working (and not leaking) and the vacuum line to it is 
not leaking or kinked. While you are under the car make sure the shift 
linkage is properly adjusted also. More than likely you are suffering 
the effects of bad (cold) solder joints that are temperature 
sensitive. You might also find that the 2 caps are blown.
