rclarke listed the best first check. If that isn't it, check the governor. If it is stuck, it will do the same thing. Better to replace than fix. Good luck.

Thats right, a stuck governor can also prevent upshifts. But if a governor is stuck, the only thing I have found that will stick a governor is trash in the oil. Trash in the oil usually indicates a transmission failure already or very soon. Possibly an overhaul in the near future.
