Let us know if you have a 700R4, Several things can cause a soft 1-2, 90% of them can be fixed without pulling the trans.
I've used auto paint filters to filter ATF used in my plow pistons.
hadn't thought of the tranny but I've replaced burnt fluid and filter that i could get out before,
but then no go.(got it rebuilt)
BTW (paint filters) work on cooled deep fryer grease too lol
