So I changed trans fluid and flushed as much of the old out as I could. I even added some lucas.

Results where pretty good. Seems to shift a lot better (on jack stands). Was great at first then shifting linkage/cable came loose. I realized this by when I moved shifter on column it didn't do anything. I found out I knocked the c-clip out. I put it back in and the cable where I think it is supposed to be and took it down the road. Seemed a lot better but when I stopped it was sluggish off the line and I realized it wasn't shifting all the way back down to first. When I manually dropped it back down into first it was fine. Still holding first a little longer than I'd like sometimes though, but otherwise good.

Any way to adjust the cable? Like a normal tv cable on 700r4? Any ideas why it isn't dropping all the way back down into first?
