I had a similar issue with my trans not downshifting to 1st after coming to a stop. It was a sticky plunger in the governor. I deburred the edges of the plunger a little bit, made sure it moved freely in the bore, and the problem went away. It would do it again after a couple weeks of driving, so I ended up just getting a new governor. Never had the problem since. Not saying that's the problem, but before you resort to a full teardown, I would check that first since it's practically free to check.
