Weird. About a month ago, my 88 Thunderbird started doing the same kind of thing. I kept thinking I was missing shifts and attributed me going on 3 hours of sleep. Then I started having a really hard time getting it into first and third, and the other gears were a little notchier too.
It did that on and off for 2 days in a row, but never since. I've learned many times that when cars do things like that it's NEVER "just a fluke", it will start acting up again I'm sure. First thing I'll check is the hydraulic pressure, sounds like it was having the same kind of problem. Seems like it's a heat-related, I was in stop and go traffic in very hot weather at the time.
