Default shift and slip problem in 98 1500 5.9l

When its cold its seems ok but after driving it starts to not shift to 2nd but after that it shifts 3rd to fourth fine. Not only that, I was driving the other day and after getting it up to 65 it just dropped down gears and I had to throw it in neutral quick and turn it off and back on and it will drive fine but will do it again the next time I drive. I need some help!

Gov. solenoid is clogged. Replace it and the Gov pressure switch. That might buy you some time.
