I need some AOD help

I have an 87 with the AOD transmission. It all of a sudden will not shift properly. It will go into Drive, Reverse, netural as it should. When in Drive it stays in low gear and will not shift to the higher gears. at 35mph it sounds like the engine is at max rpm.. I changed the fluid, filter etc but did not help. I will look tonight if the TPS is broke. can you guys give me other things to look for?

sounds like your tranny is shot. or the tv cable is out of adjustment which would also burn up that model tranny. best take it to a shop at this point

Definately check the T.V. cable and see if it is broken, has come off or out of adjustment as Kemicalburns said. If you find the problem, a shop that knows how to set it up may be your best bet. I wouldnt drive it until you solve the problem as you can or may have done serious damage already.
