Default Sloppy shifts at part throttle, firm at WOT?

Lately it seems my light part throttle shifts are getting sloppier (soft and long). They are still great and very firm at WOT which makes me want to think it might not be a sign the transmission is on its way out.

I'm wondering if it might have something to do more with MAF calibration or something else and am really just looking for some ideas and opinions. Very well could be a sign of wear I suppose but I would expect it to be worse at WOT if that were the case.

It stays cool and the fluid is clean and does not smell burned.

thanks guys!

If they are becomming softer it could indeed be MAF related do you use a KN type oiled filter is so clean your maf,
It could also be the PRESURE CONTROL SOLENOID is failing which would be something else to consider changing during a service,

I do have a K&N, the MAF has been cleaned very recently though. I will do so again.

I will look into the solenoid too. Thanks for the ideas!
