This sounds like a downshift cable problem. Make sure it actually moves properly. Try unscrewing it a bit as well.
If no results try a fluid flush.
If THAT doesn't help, there could be crud in the OD solenoid. That would restrict flow through it until the pressure got high enough. Replacing the solenoid may be the only fix. It may be possible to blow it out but there's no guarantee of that.
Whatever you do don't take it to a transmission shop before at least trying these things. If someone says it needs to be rebuilt, remember that a GOOD USED transmission is no more than $400. REbuilding runs about $900.
Good luck!
