Sounds to me like it is overfull of fluid. Have you serviced it recently?
I just went back to re read your post.... It NEVER gets over 25MPH!!!! THAT is a problem. It WANTS to shift, but the driving conditions won't allow it. When it finally reaches its shift points (when the stars a moon align) I am betting you are under load and the RPMs are higher than normal. That will cause it to feel like it is shifting hard.
In my opinion, you need a road trip. Wide open highway 50MPH or better. It like buying a granny grocery getter that only went 25MPH to the corner store and back. The drivetrain needs the cobwebs blown out of it.
Next thing you should get under there and look at the pan itself and see if it is dented. If it is, you hit something on that logging road. Depending on where you/if you dented it it could be blocking the filter pickup, and starving it of fluid. When it finally gets fluid it "slams" into gear.
Just some thougts.
