Thats what mine did about two days before it lost everything.
Pull the governor out and see if the valve moves back and forth when you move the weights. But if it only stays out of 3rd, the governor is not likely the cause.

Hi ,

I got sometimes the same problem on my 1977 Impala ( 250ci / TH350 ) ...

while driving , put your speed selector from D to N & back to D , and see if the 3d speed engages ...

if yes , change your oil bath & filter , it could solve the problem , it did for me anyway...

seems strange , huh ?

have no idea where it comes from , sometimes I just have to play with that selector a little ( a little bit up ) , and the third speed engages , I must have a link & rod problem too ...

greetz
