Default transmision going bad?

This kinda sucks, but my car has been acting really weird lately, and now everytime i get into it, it will go all the way to the redline in second, and wont will hang there, and then start making a grinding sound till i get off of it, but wont shift into third, im pretty sure the tranny is going bad, but i want your thoughts, thanks

It sounds like a band and a 3-4 clutch failure. I'm not sure on the grinding sound unless the band is trying to re-machine the drum. Or if the input drum is partially broke and there are chucks binding between the sun shell and the input drum. Never the less you need a new trans. Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions. Vince
