It's most likely a valve that is sticking in the valvebody. Do a hot-flush and see if it helps. If not, you're going to have to get the valvebody rebuilt.

That is 100% exactly what my tranny does in my 94 maxima. And one of my valves sticks a lot and I hear it tapping about 70% of the time I'm driving. If you give it barely any gas it should shift pretty normally but you have to baby the hell out of it. Mines so bad I can redline 1st gear and skip 2nd because the rpms go to high.
