GM transmission problem?

Recently when driving I've noticed my car tends to hesitate to downshift when I hit the skinny pedal hard at highway speed. It seems like its trying to downshift but the tach jumps up and down a few times before the transmission engages into the lower gear.

Has anyone else experienced this, or knows what is causing it (shift solenoid, torque converter, ect?)

Vehicle details

99 Olds Intrigue
3.8 V6
4 speed auto
170k miles
To add, the transmission works flawlessly otherwise, except for a hard upshift when driving normally (typical for gm trannies in this car from what ive read)
