Question strange feel...shifting/not shifting

here it is...88 XLT with 5.0L auto./C6 Trans. I believe. 80K on new engine. Weird feeling when driving home yesterday, once I hit 55-65mph, approx. 1500-1800rpm's and let off of the gas feels as if it's kind of dragging as not in the highest gear. I'm pretty sure it is, I can see the tach drop each time it shifts. Got home and checked Trans. fluid..OK. Any ideas? Maybe just me? I don't know. Thanks for any help.

i didnt know the c-6 was an option with the 302, but regardless it could be time for a fluid and filter change on the tranny. or you could have a vacum modulator going bad.
