Do you mean you can upshift thru 1st and 2nd normal and the into 3rd at 50mph? Or is the transmission stuck in 2nd and that is it?

Okay. Here is the problem. Transmission fluid don't like heat, the hotter the fluid gets it start to harden the pistion seals. There two drums the front of the trans, on the front drum the fluid is leaking pass the seal and hold fluid to make the next shift. You can try adding some seal softner to the trans and hope it works, or you'll need to replace all seals and clutches. Meaning a overhaul.
