Still another tranny problem/question

'92 w/about 75,000 miles on current tranny.
Good shifts in ALL gears, but slips ONLY in 4th gear and ONLY under moderate to strong acceleration.
Doesn't matter whether t/c is locked or not.

Adjusted trans band,(twice in life of trans so far), clean/fresh fluid and filters(aftermarket filter too).
Has Small Car shift kit too.

Does this sound like bad band or perhaps a solenoid, or, etc.
I thought 3/4 used same band/drum, so shouldn't it slip in BOTH 3 & 4?
Confused and frustrated and...?

Any ideas?

Happy Holidays to one and all!!!

The high clutch is used in 3rd and 4th, the band is applied with the high clutch for 4th. So I would think the band is slipping. When it does, the box goes back to 3rd.

If the band is adjusted properly, I would check the line pressure to see if it is low.
