About 15-30 min of driving, coming to a stop, 1st gear takes a while to get going.
Mine is a 1993 and bought mine off Amazon. Same part used on Isuzu.

@ElseyCA : Can you describe in more detail "first gear takes awhile to get going" ?
Miles on the vehicle/transmission?
When did the current symptoms start (suddenly, over ? time)??
Any recent work or service on (or damage to) the vehicle (brakes, engine, throttle body, transmission)
Is the ATF level correct once the transmission/engine are warmed up (~20+ minutes driving)
Do you have the POWER button or 2nd button pushed on the center console?
Or, have you tried pushing those buttons one at a time to compare how it accelerates between Standard (no buttons pushed), 2nd, and Power?
Is the red BRAKE light glowing when you accelerate (Emergency brakes on)?
Any other symptoms, engine codes (check engine light), noises, grinding??

Miles on the vehicle/transmission? - 280K
When did the current symptoms start (suddenly, over ? time)??- Slowly over time, it happened once we drove it more often.
Any recent work or service on (or damage to) the vehicle (brakes, engine, throttle body, transmission) - No recent work beside oil changes
Is the ATF level correct once the transmission/engine are warmed up (~20+ minutes driving) Yes, correct level.
Do you have the POWER button or 2nd button pushed on the center console? 2nd button on the console.
Or, have you tried pushing those buttons one at a time to compare how it accelerates between Standard (no buttons pushed), 2nd, and Power? Yes, still no power.
Is the red BRAKE light glowing when you accelerate (Emergency brakes on)? No red brake light, e brake not on
Any other symptoms, engine codes (check engine light), noises, grinding?? No other symptoms, check light comes and goes. Have not checked for code when on.
So is it just slow acceleration, or slipping, grinding, feel like something is dragging, jerking, scuffing?
Tachometer jumping, engine revving too high compared to the road speed?
Anything odd, noises etc when for example you turn in a circle in a parking lot?

'93-'94 solenoids for the A442F are not compatible with the '95-'97 A343F valve bodies.

The transmission diagnostic codes do not show up as a MIL light; you have to search for them. The procedure is in the service manual.

Ques: Do you have the POWER button or 2nd button pushed on the center console?
Ans: 2nd button on the console
@ElseyCA :
The 2nd start button causes the transmission to start in 2nd from a stop and is generally meant to be used when driving on slick surfaces (snow, ice) to decrease wheel spin. The initial acceleration from a stop however is much slower IME.
Have you tried pushing the Power button instead to compare how it accelerates?
The Power button changes the shift points to keep the engine in a higher rpm before up-shifting.
Any updates?
