Hate to be the bearer of bad news (I actually just came to terms with it tonight), but you probably need a new/rebuilt trans. It sounds a lot like what happened to my car. If you have autotap you'll see that you're not shifting into second gear. The PCM will command second gear, when it realizes it's burned, it'll shift into 3rd. That's why it takes so long to shift.

My car is doing the exact same thing. Go WOT and see if it the needle bounces off the rev limiter. If it does bounce, and doesn't shift into second, then you have the EXACT same problem as me.

I'll be calling Dave at Rock-On Monday to place my order.
