If it won't go over 3000 rpm you probably have other problems. A trans problem should not limit your rpm. Pull the codes using the dic and post. This link describes how. http://www.stengel.net/diccodes.htm

Check engine light? Were the tires spinning? What happened at 3000 rpm? Did the engine cut off, did it seem like there was a heavy load, any smells, messages on the dash?
