97 shiftying problrms

Lead Head What happens is when I put the truck in gear it starts to move ahead and as soon as it reaches 2000 rpms it drops to 1000 rpms then up to 2000 rpms and back to 1000 rpms. This prosess continues until around 30 mph. At this point it shifts into high gear.Now it wont shift down and it wont kick up because its in high gear.When I push the od button it takes it out of high to third but that's all it will shift.

Sounds to me like a bad wire at the plug on on the passenger side.
Pull the back off the plug and check the wires for breaking off the pins.
