I think you might have run into a dead spot, buy a higher stall Tq converter and haul ***. I might be wrong but just my opinion. Good luck man.

During this period of 2 seconds, you're still WOT or you've let off the gas when it shifts to 3rd?

If you're still WOT, are you hitting the limiter or no?

Beat me to it George. Something's sticking and causing a timing issue. It's not releasing 2nd until the 3rd gear clutches are engaged.
