Default Throttle Sensor Detector problem? Tranny problem?

i have a 93 sc300 automatic. last month my check engine light went on, after having the diagnostic it was determined the Throttle Sensor Detector needed to be replaced. before it was replaced i started to notice the car would seem to kick back, the engine would seemingly die for a second when i accelerate and a slight delay in what seems to be the automatic transmission shifting gears. since i had the TSD replaced the engine light is no longer lit up but i still have the problem of what seems to be the automatic transmission shifting gears. the car definately doesnt drive as smoothly as it did before

what could be the problem?

its a easy fix. search for "TPS" you can order it from any dealer i cant remember how much i paid for mine but it wasn't bad its located in the center of the valve cover where the throttle body and valve cover meet it plugs right in and like 2 screws holding it. that should fix the problem..
