eric, Most likely what's happening is that the rear (drum) clutch is failing to engage. First and foremost, your tranny should be topped-up with good type F automatic tranny fluid (not Dexron or anything else). Being low on fluid can cause almost any problem in the book so check that. Shift linkage and throttle cable adjustment should be checked. Beyond checking those things if it still refuses to upshift to third your next suspects are the govenor, valve body and oil pipes inside the unit. A disconnected pipe (possible but unlikely) or a jammed govenor or shift valve could prevent the unit from upshifting. If it is a problem with the rear drum clutch or any other stack element then the unit has to come out and be rebuilt or replaced. Good luck.
