As I read a lot here, could it be the brakeband?

Thanks for your input

It could be the band.
If it slips going into 2nd it is.
If it does not slip in 2nd, then it is probably low line pressure that is causing it to slip in 3rd/4th, so that it goes back to 3rd, and then back to 4th, that is low line pressure.
4th gear is 3rd gear + the band, when it slips, your back in 3rd.
At the higher rpms the line pressure is high enough to hold.
