Transmission oddities

1994 c280, 722.4 transmission. 128k miles, serviced regularly. The transmission won't let go of second gear (even after warm up, which works correctly btw) all the time. Often it will hold until 3500-4500 rpms before it shifts. If I bring it up to 2500-3500 rpm and let off the throttle it will shift (like driving a stick.) If I go really light on the gas pedal sometimes it will shift as it should. Vacuum leaks have been addressed, and there was no metal in the pan the last time I dropped it. From what I've read, this sounds like the governor is sticking.(I've searched and read posts about cars that won't shift at all out of second, but nothing like my issue. ) Any ideas? It hasn't gotten worse, but it certainly isn't getting better on it's own. Although one afternoon it shifted flawlessly for three stops lights, lol.


I want to be clear that I'm not talking about the car holding gear when it's cold. In this case, it simply will hold the gear all the time.

Thanks.
