I had a 95 grand am with the same tranny, the 4t60e and mine exhibited the condition to where i would come to a stop, but it wouldnt downshift either. It would also randomly neutral while driving, especially while passing someone. I later found out that in those years they had a problem with the valve body machining, one of the valves would wear out prematurely. Im not sure if these are the exact conditions you have, but its a suggestion.
