Doesn't sound like a ASR problem. ASR will retard timing and close the throttle to reduce wheel spin. It doesn't affect trans shifting..
Check and be sure the T.V. cable is not sticking or binding and is correctly adjusted. Be sure as the throttle is manually opened the cable moves freely and returns freely when throttle is closed. May be a valve body problem--but Id look very close at the TV cable first.

Some would call it a kick down or detent cable--it is the cable connecting the throttle to the transmissioin. Depending on throttle position it raises or lowers the tranny shift points. If it was sticking at times in a extended position it could cause it to shift very late. It is connected to the trans valve body. It serves a similar purpose as a vacuum modulator and a electric kick down switch on earlier GM trannys. The cable and housing are adjustable at the throttle itself.

Here is a good link for '92-'93 w/ASR. Further try the search feature here the are many threads w/pics describing adjusting the T.V. cable.
Try ebay for the FSM they usually have them.
