Default auto transmission problems

i have an automatic 99 z28 camaro that suddenly is not shifting automatically like its supposed to. i have to let off the gas in order for it to shift. it has to be over 3000 rpms and when i let off the gas it drops down to 2500 then shifts. and if i punch the gas hard the car acts like its in neutral bc the cars rpms will rise but the car is not accelerating unless u are at lower rpms...i checked the TPS and it was functioning properly at the right voltage so i am stumpped as of now. any suggestions on what to do?
