Car won't run past 60mph

Do you put it in neutral before backing out to load the converter?? Does it rev everytime you put it in reverse, or just when its cold?? I always warm the trans in neutral before I set out, even in my daily 03 Ram! Not going to solve your high speed limit, but may be a false reading on the reverse issue! My truck revs way up in reverse if I don't load up the converter first, and it has a 3:91 rear!!! Just throwing out ideas!!!

I did confirm that i get full throttle and believe my kick down is set just right with just a little tension on it. While holding the gas peddle to the floor the throttle blades fully open and the trans kick lever is fully engaged. When I let off it barely has tension on the kick down lever. Now my second finding is when i looked at the trans fluid. It doesn't smell burnt but does look like a strawberry milk shake. Looks like moisture got in there at some point. It's not coming from the radiator because I am only running a trans cooler. So it had to be in there from the beginning. I am now toying with the idea of draining it all and taking out the valve body so i can try and replace the leaking kick-down lever seal while the trans still in the car. With the valve body removed i should be able to take a small screw driver and knock the seal out from underneath but the trick is putting the new one in.
