2000 Windstar transmission slams into lower gear

I've been reading threads here about transmission issues on the Windstar and haven't come across what I'm experiencing with my van.

When slowing down for a turn or corner, and then accelerating, the transmission will hesitate and then slam into first or second gear which seems too low of a gear for the speed that I'm traveling. It doesn't do this when starting from a complete stop, only when slowing down then accelerating.

From reading posts here I know there are various sensors, solenoids, etc. that can be at fault. Of course I'm hoping that it isn't the transmission itself.

Any help or direction is appreciated.
