Thanks for the suggestions. Appreciate it. I'm going to try the SeaFoam first, then, if that doesn't work, probably replace it. Does anyone have, or, know where to get, an exploded, or, cut away view of the tranny?

Shift linkage adjustment appears correct. The shift position on the dash matches the internal indent position. Some input on when the brake band is actuated and when the hydraulic clutch is actuated would help.

Transmission is a 3 speed auto, P R D 2 1, with push button 4WD. Symptoms: Park is ok. P to R - wheels start forward for about a second, then stop as if locked. Neutral - wheels turn forwards. 1st - wheels turn forwards at relatively slow speed. 1st to 2nd - wheels turn forwards at higher speed. 2nd to D - shifts to yet higher speed. D to Neutral - wheels continue turning forwards even after braking to a stop. Neutral to R, (after braking wheels to a stop) - wheels remain stationary as if locked. Work to date: 1. Removed, cleaned, deburred, re-installed governer. No sign of apple coring on metal gear. 2. Removed, cleaned, re-installed valve body. 3. Installed new step-down vacuum diaphragm. Was leaking anyway and burning tranny fluid thru the manifold. 4. Removed, cleaned, re-installed brake band acuator. 5. Completely flushed old fluid out return line from radiator. I'm at a loss where to go next. Any ideas or insight would be greatly appreciated.
