Most likely the 2-4 band.

2-4 Band

I just curious, you say it is the 2-4 band causing a sloppy shift. from 2-3 gear. But what if when it stops shifting from second gear to third to fourth because of the sloppy shift. Would you say time for a rebuild, or band replacement?

What brand torque converter are you using?, and what stall & diameter? and what rear end gear ratio are you running? I can be of help here, let me know the above please.

but he's not the original guy with the problem
