No,
If it's shifting, it's working. However, if you really want to look it over good, pull shift solenoid "A" and check the 1-2 shift valve that lives behind it; also the spring in behind that valve.
I really think you're going to find a wobbled out accumulator piston tho. That thing has been a sore spot ever since '82 when the transmissions were then called the 700R4.
When that piston is "right", it should be very difficult to get it down in it's bore. Both thumbs, a little vaseline and a few cuss marks.
