transmission trouble

i have a 1996 f150 302 auto and i can be going down the road it feels like it is trying to down shift but then doesnt when you are just cruising. if you are taking off kinda fast it doesnt do it and it doesnt do it when it is cold, just when it is warm. i dont think it is slipping but what could be wrong

Possible there is some build-up? Have you tried putting some cleaner in?

I honestly don't know, I was thinking they sell that carb/injector cleaner you throw into your tank. I figured it would be worth a shot for $3.
