700R4 lags and doesn't like leaving overdrive

Whenever I'm cruising in overdrive and decide to accelerate a little bit, I have to go almost wide open for it to shift out of overdrive, which causes it to downshift way too low and rev around 4k while pulling really hard. I've been driving with overdrive off because of this unless I'm driving long distances on the highway.

And whenever someone in front of me puts on their turn signal and slows down to turn, and I try to accelerate after they turn, it revs up like it's in neutral and then it all of a sudden shifts hard and pulls. It didn't start doing this until recently, and I'm not sure what it is, but I'm sure I won't like it.

how old is your transmission? how often do you get it serviced? you might want to take it in for a check. i would actually start with the TV cable first, might be out if adjustment.
