I would like to mention that you have test port plugs on the transmission that lead to certain fluid circuits in the trans. Without getting my books out to see which ones you may have on your model year... You may want to look and see when each one's get pressure during certain conditions.
You may find one that can work an oil pressure switch that may be activated when vehicle speed drops.
Another thought is downshift from 4th to 3rd calibration...
Of course, you could add a speed sensor and use a little electronic engineering to operate a switch or control under certain conditions  - Outside my abilities to design, but understand electronic engine controls theory.
Once again, love the work your doing.

That's a very interesting idea about the pressure test ports. I'm totally ignorant about those, so that will give me something to look into. Thanks!
