Have you checked the tranny fluid level? What is the condition of the tranny fluid -- dirty, discolored. When was the tranny fluid last changed?

The throttle pulley has the throttle cable on top and the kickdown cable on the bottom. With the engine off, have an assistant press the throttle pedal to full-throttle while you check the throttle pulley. The throttle pulley should turn clockwise and pull the kickdown cable about 2".
