Run the fault codes and look for faulty servo/solenoids and TCM
it could also be a oil level or oil condition problem
I suggest a visit to an accredited auto shop specialist for a proper diagnosis before you waste money
if a new box is suggested get second and third opinion and quotes

1996 Laredo. Why doesn't it shift into third or overdrive?

try adjusting the throttle pressure cable located at the throttle body. push in the clip that holds it, remove floor mat on drivers side and fully depress the gas pedal
(engine off of course) then release the pedal. the clip should go back to lock position. all this is on the assumption you have the Asian warner aw4 transmission but the procedure is similar for the chrysler trans also

Why do my 1994 dodge ram 1500 automatic does not shift into second and third

check the fluid level
check those with engine warm, idling and gear selector in neutral
check the Throttle Pressure Cable (it is attached to the throttle body and goes down to the trans) - open the throttle body manually all the way (Wide Open Throtle) the TP cable should have all the slack taken up. From your symptoms I would expect to see the cable end disconnected from the throttle body. The plastic end that clips to the throttle body gets crispy and breaks. I have in the past used a couple tiny plastic ty raps to hold it in place on the linkage. If you choose to do that temporary repair - Please carefully inspect the throttle body to make sure the repair doesn't cause the throttle body to bind and not work smoothly. Done improperly the throttle body can stick and you will have a serious problem if that happens.

My geo metro does not want to shift from second to third real well.

a/T trans,
does it fail to shift to 3rd with light throttle and flat ground moving say 45mph? Y/N.
trans diagnosis is complex , so is the trans.
it a hands on deal too, with tools.
1: is modulator valve working?
2: is Kickdown cable not stuck at WOT?
3: is filter screen clean?
4: is A/T pump pressure at spec.?
the car has an FSM and in this book , as a section called, on car repairs. for A/T . its 100% on topic.

I have a 1988 olds 98 and the tranny wont shift into third gear. First and second are great then it seems to go into nutral

Check the wiring headed intot he transmission, if all good, remove the pan and check the interior,. of all good, then you can bet that you will need to replace the shifting solenoid in the tranny and you'll be good to go...
Best regards

I have an 1988 f-350 diesel with an auto the trans is new but wont shift into overdrive,first and second and third shift really firm but just wont go in fourth

Its NEW? take it to whoever you got it from. The problem may not be IN the trans, but a trans shop need to check it out to see why its not going into overdrive.

1986 corvette 700R4 transmission will not down shift from overdrive to third during hard acceleration. Transmission recently rebuilt new throttle valve, TV cable working and adjusted properly. Help?

Are you sure the TV ( trans shift cable at the throttle valve) cable is correctly adjusted?? Without line pressure readings, I can only guess that the D3/Part throttle check ball is missing, if it is a trans problem
If the TV is correct, I am assuming that the TV cable is pulled tight at WOT.
Did you check the throttle (ACCEL) cable to be sure that the carb goes wide open when your accel pedal is on the floor?? This must be done with someone in the car and a second person looking at the carb. Without doing this, you do not know if you have WOT. Without WOT, the trans will not de-tent and shift down.
