my 88 chevy 1/2 ton, 2wd, long bed seems to be missing third gear. It will shift normal from first to second but when the rpm's get to where third should be, it just keeps reving up and wont grab. If i get up to about 60-65 in second it will skip third and go to o/d if im lucky. Is this common? Should it be replaced? Does it need tranny fluid to stop this? Or does it need to be drained and filled with new fluid and filter?

i own a repair shop,and it sounds like its just about out ,it would be a real good idea to have it checked ,but i think there going to tell you to replace it,and i think it may be time to get one for it,when they do this it usually means it going out,or just about to stop all together,good luck i hope this help,s.
