Sounds like the vacuum line to the modulator valve has been left off. Check the vacuum line that runs from the tranny up to the back of the intake manifold. It is either broken or unhooked.

I had the same problem, not shifting to third and it was the vacuum line.One of my buddies had the same problem after an engine change. His problem was because he hooked the vacuum line up wrong. It was tied in with the brake booster, which isn't right. I was told the booster has too much volume to be cosistant.
