I'll need to know the year and model of your car to advise you on this, Leslie. But you should have your car repaired. If your transmission is going into failsafe (3rd gear only), it puts tremendous strain on the transmission at low speeds.

I'm curious as to why this is? I'd have thought just the opposite.

You've got the engine applying a large amount of torque-- the torque converter allows the engine to rev up significantly-- yet the output still accelerates slowly.

Think about revving your engine up to 2000 rpm at a stop and then letting the clutch out in 3rd or 4th gear. It's not quite the same, but I hope it illustrates the strain put on the system.
