I had to drive a short distance (1/4 block) again afterwards, and after starting the rpm surged about twice.. 800-1500-800-1500-then 800 stable. I'm not sure this is relevant as well.

Could a computer cause a hard shifting as well?
I checked the ATF and it still looks pink.
if its chugging at light throttle, ( driving in any gear) thats the pcs going bad.

if its slipping or shifting hard it could be cause it got hot.

external trans cooler may help some more.

we all knew you were on thin ice to start with having dark burnt fluid. my fluid was like that and it blew. i lost 3 rd gear. got a used one put in.
