I (we) need more information. Is the engine lacking power? RPM issue? Transmission? Does the engine shake, sputter, miss, knock, or what?

It appears that your transmission is not shifting into 3 gear. If this is the case, your only option is to have it rebuilt, or replace it with a new, or used one.
