Delayed upshift

Dears:
In normal mode(not Sport), transmission reluctant to upshift to 4th from 3rd, more pronounced while going uphill, when the rpm would be 3500+ and the 5HP24 still decides to stay in the lower gear, even if you give it more gas. Tried using manual mode of the J-Gate, same issue. Car is '98 VDP. No fault codes, and otherwise no other issues.
Diagnosis?

Dear Sean B:
No sign of fluid loss. Why would a hard reset mend the issue? Is it because the TCM has stored too much confusing shifting patterns? And when you said let it idle for a while, did you mean right after the hard rest, or after you have taught the TCM during first drive? (is it like, 40 shifts?)

Because it puts the car back to it's original factory settings, resets everything and puts it in learning mode. You let it idle for a while so the various components shake hands with each other and the throttle body can set itself up.
But as others have said, get your fluid changed if it's never been done. You should also look into having the modified pressure valve fitted to prevent any future woes. Search the forum for Transgo Valve.
