Checked transmission fluid? How does the car feel? Like engine wise struggle or just lack of revs?
Also does it hunt around 2-2500? Or hold at and on 2-2500
Sounds like a solinoid I don't know how to do a diagnostic though.

Have you used a vacuum gauge to check if your problem is a blocked exhaust? maybe your cats are blocked?
