Is it shifting up to 3rd but not getting into 4th? If that is the case, it could be the shift solenoid. Is the "Check engine" light on, because a problem like that could set a code. If you take it to a shop they could tell you for sure.

When I speed up to 55 60 MPH the transmission feels like it's jumping or skipping out of place
