When driving the RPM stay at 5 or above and the transmission doesn't go out of full throttle could this be a speed sensor?

It could be your speed sensor. Mine ran fine for the first 15 min or so, then it would shift into first and stay there and I'd have to drive home in first, and was told that it could be the speed sensor. If it's not working properly, it lets the computer think that you're not moving, so it,(the tranny), does what it's supposed to, and drops to first gear. Hope this helps.
