Default 66 coupe Auto trans Hangs in 3rd????

I have a 66 coupe with an auto trans and it just started hanging in 3rd gear. I check the trans fluid with motor hot and in park appears to be ok. The car will shift 1 to 2nd and 2nd to 3rda smooth as possible, when you slow down it down shifts as it is supposed to it just wont shift from 3-4. Any help out there????

I agree with connor. The stock trans only has 3 speeds.

The only four speed stock on a 66 was the four speed manual.
