DON'T BUY A NEW TRANNY!!!!!! I had this problem with my 95 CSET, there are two seals that look like 2" O-rings that are called governor seals, 'cause they wrap around the governor and allow the fluid to build up pressure BEFORE the car shifts into higher gear. About $15.00 a piece and an hour labor if your mechanic is competent and not a wanker. Governor is accessed by removing driver's side inner fender. A common malady with 9000 autos, esp. if turbo. I was hitting 4th gear by the end of my driveway, sometimes sooner. Usually car will shift manually, but often that will go haywire also. Sometimes only one is bad, but always replace both. Also, have your mechanic install new ones with a COLD ENGINE. Preferably overnite. If the governor is at all warm the new seals will bind on the way back in (it's a really snug fit) and they will break before you get the car off the lift. Been there done that.
Good luck!
