Funny thing about those emergency stop levers. The one on my 190d takes gentle pressure. The one on my 300SD feels like the IP is fighting you, and strongly.
When enlisting the wife for the throttle test, look at the engine side of the IP. Move the linkage by hand, and observe the location of the full travel stop that the throttle lever on the IP swings towards. Now when the wife hits the loud pedal, make sure the linkage hits the stop at the IP. IF not, you aren't getting full throttle. I suspect that your problem is more along the line of the engine making low power for a given throttle position, rather than the throttle not moving. Heavy throttle and little power > hard late shifts. Being your car is a 1985, I believe you have all sorts of blue saucer vacuum control thingies on your valve cover, and possibly an EGR valve. Lots of things to go wrong with the engine/tranny management there.
