Transmission Help/Advice Needed...

I've asked this in other threads, but with no luck, so I'm making my own.

My auto tranny shifts fine in gears 1-3, but when it gets to about 47mph, it shifts into overdrive and drops the rpms to about 1500. It feels like it shouldnt have shifted yet and the rpms are too low. Like if you were driving a stick, should be in 3rd gear, but shifted into 5th. No acceleration, I can go from 47-75 and the rpm's only go up about 400. I used to be at 71-74mph at 2500rpm...now its about 2100. Gas mileage has gone down about 2mpg since this started. Used to get around 280 miles to the tank now around 250-60

I was thinking MAF, shift solenoids, tps...Is there any one of those I should specifically look at, or another idea as to what might be going on? Thanks in advance...

Purely a guess, but the planetary O/D gear might be screwed up. How does the ATF look and when was the last tranny service done? It's a PITA, but removing the tranny pan and checking for metal shavings/chunks stuck to the magnets might point you in the right direction.

ATF looks good. I bought the truck in Dec. and have subsequently done 2 drain and fills. The carfax said a transmission service had been done before. Maybe the pan will have to be my next move
