It sounds like the shift cable is weak and needs replacing, You may be able to readjust the cable to fix the problem. Does the transmission go into low gear?

If the transmission goes into low gear, the cable probably needs replacing. On some cars the cable does not adjust, if there is an adjustment it will be down at the transmission. The other option is the transmission has an internal problem, but well cross that bridge when we get to it. Please check if it goes into low gear, or if it adjusts so we can go from there.
