The "high gear" means the tranny is stuck in limp mode, and if you don't have a lit MIL along with it, the TCM may have a CAN communication issue. That situation usually happens when the ECM goes limp and stops transmitting a tach signal, which lights the MIL and usually the slip/ABS lamps as well. Since you don't see those, you need to get it scanned and see if the TCM shows up, if it's absent then most likely it has a blown CAN driver or there's a problem with the CAN wiring.
