Coule be, then again if the tranny is electronic it could be a solenoid. It's a DIY job if you feel comfortable doing the repair.

Does it skip 3rd or never shift out of second?

It is possible that shift solenoid 2 is stuck open, and it might act like you are describing...

I hope that car is cheap!
