Shifting at about 45 from 2nd to 3rd. Now it's 55 before it shifts. I could mess with it but will wait till I get the proper VM as I don't want to do any damage to either the engine or the tranny. The proper should be here on saturday.

Any chance the ATF level is low? It must be checked with the engine 
running. A low level will affect shift points.

I'm just trying to understand how this could change suddenly without 
a leaking diaphram that would fill the vacuum hose with red ATF.
