Default 93 auto tranny wont downshift

hey guys, so recently ive replaced the TPS and transmission solenoids in my auto 93 sc300 and it still wont downshift properly unless you mash your foot all the way to the button on the ground.

my engine runs 10/10 and used to haul *** and downshift perfect, now it feels like my trans will only go down to 2nd if im cruising at like 40 or something and put my foot into it.

Before i wouldnt have to bother pushing all the way down to the button to get this thing going but now it seems like a 2 speed unless i do.. Also sometimes if i only give it quarter throttle it will pull fine but if i get all the way into it it falls on its face and upshifts.

its pissing me off cause im about to turbo my car but i dont wanna turbo it till the trans problems are fixed
