Adjust the kickdown linkage and kickdown band. See If that works.

When i've experienced that it has been corrected by kickdown adjustment, like Dave sez.

if once you have checked the linkage and that is ok if it is still late shiftin it points to the high gear clutch on the way out also if by gentley squeezin the throttle it drops to 2nd that also is a sign off a bad high gear clutch
