Hi Mark..
From what I have gone through, it might be a worn brake band (if everything else are checked and o.k)..and if it is so, you need to get it overhauled. My auto box problem was, it skips 2nd and didn't shifted into 4th at all. It will stay in 1st if I shifted it into 2nd range and so did in 1st range. Have my box stripped off apart to found out the brake band has completely worn out. Symptom..lots of metal particles sticking to the magnet inside the oil sump. In my case, about the size of my little finger sticking roundly to the magnet although my ATF color looks normally clean.
