Does it not try to go into third gear at all or does it slip? If it is not
trying to shift, I would have the governor checked. It is easily removed
with out removing the transmission and often a small piece of debris will
keep the valves from closing causing the transmission to not upshift.  A
good cleaning will often resolve this problem.  Before removing a the Trans,
a good shop should be able to pressure test it to provide some diagnosis
before writing it off.
