Well, I was sorting of thinking the same thing - but just as a guess without thorough knowledge.
If I were to proceed on my own, I'd buy manual an book of current updates. Whole set only costs around $25. It seemed - and still seems to me - that if an electrical solenoid did not do its job - it should be registered as an error, and if it DID do it's job, but the shift failed to occur - for whatever reason - it too should be recorded. But, I don't know how comprehensive the system is. I have seen many newer cars - 2000 and up - with other problems that do not register in the computer memory.
I don't even know what a good E40D against a diesel is supposed to feel like - it's the first one I ever drove. I always thought it shifted way too soft between gears. After the Canadian guys worked on it, it still shifted soft. They told me it was, more-or-less, normal - but I ought to have a new FIPL switch at some point. They told me it would cost much less in the U.S. then it did in Canada - and it could wait. So, when I got home - I bought a new one and installed it onto the injection pump. It made no difference - but only cost $30.

I also must admit that I did not use my own scanner. My friend owns a nearby repair shop and has - what is supposed to be - some pretty good equipment. He is forced to have it by the good State of New York. That because now - the State mandates a search for error codes before issuing an annual inspection sticker (pre 1996s are exempt though).
