I would check the trans fluid and see if it is burnt or low. You might even want to pull the pan and replace the filter. My buddy's car took forever to shift, after the filter change the car shifts fine.

I'de say your trans is done for if it's not hitting 3rd or 4th. You may get lucky but I'm betting you've got a dead clutch pack in there.

Smoked 3-4 clutch pack. Very common in the 700r4. Its time for a rebuild. Mike

what about if it doesnt shift at all. I mean it does when i rev it high like red line. I drove it the other day and jsut before it hit red line it felt like it was about to shift, the RMP droped real low then the engine draged. I was very very sluggish. still wouldnt shift up.
COuld it be the gov. or something inside. im not a genious im just trying to try all i can before buying a new one. or doing a rebuild.
if its a rebuild then how easy it. I mean could i do it with a manual? Id rather pay 200 for a kit instead of 1000 for some mech. to do it
