Default 94 GT problem

I have a 1994 Mustang GT with an automatic transmission that won't seem to shift past 2nd gear anymore. The car has about 55k miles on it and about 2 weeks before this probelm occured the car shifted from 1st to 2nd and then stayed in 2nd until about 4000-4500 rpm with the throttle maybe half way down. Once I let off the gas it shifted to 3rd. This happened again maybe a week later but I wasn't pushing on the gas very hard at all. It only shifted after I let entirely off the gas. About 3 days later the "Check Engine" light came on leaving my house and then shut off after driving for a minute. This happend again a day later and on my way to school one day after getting off the highway the transmission would no longer shift past second gear. I had to drive it all the way home taking backroads at about 4000 rpm in second gear. If I shut off overdrive while driving instead of going into 3rd gear it seems jsut to drop into neutral and the rpm goes up and no power gets to the wheels. I checked for any computer codes and nothing came up. For now I have the car off the road and am waiting for a book I ordered on the AODE transmission before I drain the transmission fluid or do anything to it. I've heard that it could be a the shift 2-3 solenoid but i'm not sure yet. Any idea what the problem could be?

It is probably the shift solenoid because when my AODE went in my 94 GT the car just stayed in first gear and wouldn't shift. I was lucky enough to make it to the tranny shop before it completely locked up.
