Have you checked your transmission fluid? Is it full and a nice red colour. If it is black and/or smells burnt then you could have clutch problems in the tranny.

Tranny
First off, I'm not real familar with ford automatics but it doesnt matter because they are all similar in operation. Yup, check the T.V. cable first to make sure it aint broke and that its hooked up. The more you step on the gas the more you pull the cable and then the cable moves the Throttle pressure Valve (TV) which increase pressure inside the trans resulting in a higher shift. Hi pressure equals hi shift points, low pressure equals low shift points. The TV cable should feel like its spring loaded when you pull on it, unhook it and give it a yank, if it doenst feel spring loaded then the TV valve might be stuck in the valve body which means the valve body may have to come out. If that feels good then your gonna have to pull the governer out of the tranny and check the gear on the end of the governer, they are usually plastic and strip out sometimes. On the back of the tranny is a cover that usually pops off with a screwdriver and the governer just pulls out. The governer drives off the tailshaft and the cover is about 3 -4 " inches around and dome shaped usually with a o ring on it. The gear is pinned or pressed on. A hammer and a punch should get it off.
