If it will only reach 4500 rpms then you have an engine performance problem. Try the fuel filteror fuel pressure first. Check for codes also.

If it IS in fact the sunshell it is rebuild time. Put a BEAST sunshell back in the rebuild and you will never have this issue again. The case is the big thing that that all the parts are in........

I would consider getting a trans built by a shop that specializes in these such as one of the sponsors here , We do these every day, If not us there is FLT, TP, and others.

But before I even did that I would get the car scanned for codes.
