This transmission is a 700R4 overdrive automatic. When it does this it only means the overdrive is burned out, calling for trans removal and repair. It has to go into 3rd gear before it can go into overdrive and the trans will not allow it to because there is no longer an overdrive function. Try this first, Go to the connection at the throttle lever, find the black plastic piece that the trans cable runs thru, open the throttle completely by hand and hold it open, with a finger into the opening above the cable push the button down and this will reset the cable back to where the transmission has to reset it automatically. Now get in and take it for a drive starting out from neutral and drop it into the next forward gear, which will be high for overdrive use. Now that the cable has to be adjusted by the transmission, you may have what you need. IF it still doesn't have 3rd, and engine speed goes up like your in neutral, then you definitely have to have the tranny rebuilt ir replaced.
