Transmission issues (4 speeds)

I am experiencing Transmission problems with my 1996 Dodge Caravan sport with 3.8L V6 and 41TE 4 Speed Transaxle. Just recently the Transmission has begun to slip into what feels like a false neutral while shifting from 2nd to 3rd, never engaging 3rd. Then, I will let off the throttle and it will kick back into 2nd. If I accelerate again it will do the same. After two or three failed attempts at engaging 3rd it will kick into Limp-in mode and stay in 2nd gear.
I am posting this in hope that someone may have had a similar symptom and may be able to shed some light on the cause.
