Automatic transmission should upshift from 2nd to 3rd at 4600 rpm at
full throttle. If transmission delays the upshift, you may have dirty
filter on transmission and/or valve body needs cleaning.  A good
automatic transmission shop should be able to deal with the problem
without undue expense.  You likely do not need a rebuilt transmission.
