Badly Worn Throttle Linkage, culprit of odd shifts?

My Throttle linkage on my 95 is really worn and is now being held together with plastic wire ties. The sockets on the ends of the rods are almost non existent. I have consistantly over the years made idle adjustments to make up the difference that the balls were losing, "material diameter" and now my my tranny w/400,000 miles is shifting eratically and coming out of t/c lockup. I just wonder if this is what I am experiencing because the the bell crank doesn,t rotate far enough to send the correct signal (5v) to the computer to make the nessesary command for t/c lockup. If I play with it on the road with the pedal I CAN get it to behave somewhat. But I have already spent the money on the TPS and R&R item to absolutely no diff in performance. I know this is alot of miles on a tranny but it works so damn well when it gets the right input, I have taken great care with it and think I can get more out if I can pin it down and stop wasting my money and time.
