Jason, I had this same problem. In my case car would not go into reverse or 3rd, 50 mph was the ceiling. If you look at Bently in the AT section it has symptoms and possible conditions. Mine fit the exact case for a bad gear, it forget now which one. Just having bought the car, I had it rebuilt. If you do this remember to have them adjust the shift points.

I just took the sellers word for the running condition of the engine. I will do the tune up first then move to the Tranny. Thanks, Russ.
