Check your cats (if you have them). Reluctancy to shift or reach higher RPMs can usually mean your cats are clogged.

mine would do the same thing (cept for 6000 - 6200 RPM) worked like that for 4 years, went through 2 trans rebuilds and it never fixed it.

One day i just filled the fluid past the full line on the stick and guess what, fixed it. The whole time it was just low on fluid (stick is wrong), who wouldave guessed.

The point is never overlook anything...
