have a trans guy check this sounds like the trans is in limp mode so could be a switch or a rebuild may be needed.

change the Neutral safety switch or others call it inhibitor switch, it is located on top of the trans and it is where the end of your shifter cable is connected and then check the fuse that correspond to this.
