Not a V6/6L50 guy, but it sounds like something is slowing down engagement of the bands/clutches that actually make the shifts happen. Mechanical causes I can think of include be low fluid level, clogged filter, low line pressure, internal fluid leakage, partially obstructed fluid passages, or pistons associated with the lower gears sticking in their bores. I have no idea what the TCM control logic is supposed to be.
Does it happen no matter how easy or hard you drive it? Can it be assumed that the car is fully warmed up for any of your harder driving?
Does the tranny fluid look dark or smell like burnt toast?
