Windstar stumbling

Sorry for posting this in Taurus, but there is no Windstar forum and it's the same running gear.

 

I have a 2000 Windstar with a 3.8L. Unfortunately, it was not purchased back by Ford in the recall, just fixed. :banghead:

It has been doing this for a while; stumbling on light acceleration. If I don't do a full stop and wait and try to accelerate from a coasting-stop, it hesitates, bucks and has a delayed shift. It also does this on light uphill acceleration too. It also seems like the downshift is hanging.

Should i be looking at the transmission, or ignition? I did do a full tune up a while ago and the fuel pump is recently replaced. I need to keep this running safely for my daughter who will be driving in the next six months.

Thanks!
