The first thing to do when the car won't shift correctly is to check the Transmission Fluid levels. If the fluid level is fine, there could be a problem with the throttle cable or with the transmission itself. Consulting with a mechanic is the best course of action.

Why won't the transmission shift into high gear?

It depends on the type of transmission. If it is a manual transmission, the first thing to check would be the linkage. If the linkage is not the problem, then it could be the bushings or the synchronizer. If it is an automatic transmission, then it could be a problem with the bands, though you could have debris in the valve body or a servo problem. In some cases, linkage bearings could be an issue.
