You can adjust the part-throttle shift points & feel by making minor adjustments to the TV cable head position. However, be careful here as this cable controls line pressure and so mis-adjustment can have bad effects on tranny wear.

To adjust WOT shift points you need to change the weights and/or springs in the governor. You can buy a governor recalibration from B&M for around $30 of so.

It sounds like you may have internal tranny problems but you could try changing fluid & filter along with some TV cable tweaks before going to a tranny shop.
