Problem with the TH400

Ok the problem is that the transmission doesn't drop down to 1st gear after coming to a complete stop. It was just serviced a week ago due to some junk being in the governor messing up the shifts. The car drove fine for 2 days but then started not downshifting into 1st after stopping. It would just take off in 2nd. This was also happeneing before it was serviced, about a day before the governor stopped working properly. I've been manually shifting it so I can start out in first and it drives normal. Any ideas on what to look for?
