Transmission problem

On the way to work a few days ago, I was on the highway and decided to give the car a bit of gas since it was a nice cool morning. when I got to 3rd gear and 90mph, my rpms where at 4k and they would not move any further. Just sat there like the transmission was slipping?!?!?! But the car shifts fine any other shift. Anyone know what this could be?
 
P.S. Nice color car!!!

I have a 95 Pearl White SC....Anyhow, the auto is controlled by the PCM. The computer uses speed and RPM to set shift speeds. The trans probably didn't shift due to the computer telling it to stop going. The converters balloon at higher RPM's and also the computer keeps the car from over-heating the trans fluid or coolant by doing this also.

Hope this helps....
