I just had the alternator changed...that works fine now and the battery light went off...now the service engine soon light has come on and when driving, the car will rev up past the 3 on rpm and shift hard into 3rd gear, and does not want to go past that. If i try to go faster then the car just rev's and wont shift gear...what could be the problem?

It's in limp home mode. You'll have to check wire connections and electronic controls. If it has a vacuum modulator you can remove it and look for trans fluid on the vacuum hose side (meaning ruptured diaphram). Double check the parts you replaced as well, especially if they were used parts. My dad went through three speed sensors in one year on his Caravan. You should drop the pan after checking other components. It could be a bad relay, shorted module or wire. The three speed transmissions are much more reliable than the four speed overdrive transmissions but with age and miles things can go wrong and parts will wear out.

i had the same problem with the same conditions and it was a damage wire but you must check the TCM or the fuses box may be the same good luck
SOURCE: Have a winding sound coming from transmission.
I do not believe there is a DIY solution to this problem, You could try Lucas brand transmission fix. Would only help the problem temporarily. You may have a band in the xmsm going out, or a shift valve. I know 45000 miles does not seem like much on a rebuild, but something is going on inside the case. The Lucas xmsn fix is really thick fluid and it sticks in the valves and makes them fill faster to get to the next gear, or as I understand it, may fix whining for awhile, but when it returns you will have to take it to a transmission shop.

that is what they consider safe mode for those transmissions, they are a very smart electronic transmission it does that so you dont ruin the trans.
It has detected a problem and you must take it to a tech and have the codes pulled, could be as simple as a sensor or solenoid pack

Have the transmission computer scanned for codes. This trans is completely electroniclly shifted.
