Default Could PCM issue cause loss of 3rd and 4th gear?

I bought a 94 trans with a monster kit trans shift kit that only has 15000 miles on it and the car has cam, hooker exhaust, headers, kn intake, and emissions has been taken off, but the PCM in the car is a 95 and it is on a stock tune right now. I am waiting for the one from the tuner to get in. Could this PCM be causing me to only have 1st and second gear. it is very hesistant when i floor it and i take it into 2nd gear to about 5000 rpms and never goes into third. the other day I lost reverse, but it came back and this is when i lost 3rd and 4th.????

Without taking the car to a transmission shop, you are shooting in the dark, I would say the 3/4 clutch pack is toast.. They die often in that year.
