Default 96 Vette auto. transmission shifting problem

I have a 96 Corvette automatic, with 115,000 miles. It start and reverse fine. But does not seem to accelerate at all after 20 mph, especially when I press on the gas pedal hard, but when I release the pedal and press it again then the it start picking some speed. However, the RPM is very high for that normal speed. I suspect the car doesnt changing gear. Please help me to fix this problem. Thank you very much!

No power too?

Sounds like it's tripped up limp home mode. 3rd gear only, super-high hydraulic tranny fluid pressure (not good for extended driving), ...

Done any tranny work lately? How's the fluid look?
