If it's always stay in 3rd gear then the trans is in ``safe mode``. Instead of not working at all, It put it self in 3rd gear so you can move the car. Sometimes it is cause by a loose connection or a rusted connection of a harness to the transmission. but It can be worse (internal problems) Good luck!
