First check the motor mounts, if OK, then check the detent or kickdown cable.

It attaches to throttle body cam and controls hydraulic pressure in trans. If out of adjustment it will cause too much or too little hydraulic pressure in trans.
Too much pressure will cause sysmpoms you describe, too little will cause long shift points and slipping.
