Default Shifting issue

I have a 96 Dodge ram 1500 with the 59 been having some issues with it lately he was miss firing sputtering and not shifting good I replaced the computer I replace the coil the spark plug wires the two sensors on the transmission The speed sensors both of them but it’s still shifting really bad especially between 45 and 55 mile an hour shift at high RPMs and then it will shift and then shift back up like it’s slipping between second and third gear don’t know what else to do with it I’ve had a chance to rebuild couple years ago and had a tranny filter and fluid change about six months ago and it has never actually gone away any ideas

Do you know what a period and comma are and how to use them? Was the plenum gasket issue addressed? Any codes?

Could try replacing the governor pressure sensor and solenoid, also, make sure the TV cable is adjusted properly, and works the way it is supposed to.
