Check the transmission fluid level . If that doesn't work try shifting through the gears manually. Any change??
Are you sure that the transmission is not shifting into third or that the torque converter is not locking up. ? It is common that the torque converter clutch solenoid on these transmissions fail. If that is the case the engine will rev higher and sound like it isn't in top gear. If it is the TCC clutch solenoid that part can be replaced without dropping the transmission. ------------------
