correct. if you look at the marks on your speedometer, you will notice the III mark around 75, that is the MAX rpm for 3rd gear. it should be shifting out of third into 4th at this point, unless your foot is on the floor... making the downshift switch preventing shifting out of 3rd. you could also have a bad kick down switch... a bad tranny, a bad shift linkage bushing, etc... fiddle with the shifter while you are around 65mph pop it into N and gently back into D and see what happens.
