I don't believe that your trouble is the high clutch. If the high clutch was slipping, you would feel it in 3rd and 4th. If the band was slipping, you would feel it in 2nd and 4th.
As it is 'Flaring' between 2nd and 3rd, the band is releasing before the high clutch applies. This is normally controlled by the hydraulics,changing pressure from the band release servo to the high clutch piston.
This flair is a mechanical fault due to the band having too much clearance on the drum, to let go before the hydraulics have engaged the high clutch.
