Could this be my OD selonoid 900

So i have been reading the FAQ, but cant seem to come to a conclusion.

I have a 93 940 N/A, and today driving home from the mall the car started to jerk a little... but not in 4th gear... then on the way home which was at speeds of 65-70 and in OD i would press the brake a little to slow down and the car would jerk then kick down a gear and rev really high.. This kept getting worse all day even at speeds of 30-35.. 30 would get me to second gear i think, then drop to go to third, i would let go of the gas and it would jerk a little then drop back to second. Also in first gear it feels like it doesn't want to shift.. I would press the gas then it would go to like 4-5K RPM then i would kind of goose it a little and it would go to second and so on.

Does this seem like the selenoid or the kick down cable or something else.. Its kind of odd that all of a suddent the transmission would be acting up. Especially because its not one symptom like just OD or just the kick down cable.

Yet again thanks for any insight to this problem.. I sort of feel bad asking all of these questions. But without BB i would be at the total mercy of the mechanic.
