when there is something sensed to be wrong the transmission locks itself in 3rd gear, I think to prevent further damage and to allow you to "get home" without it totally crapping out on you...sometimes it can happen as a glitch every once and a while, but if it happens constantly I think you might want to have your trans checked out by an expert!
