TH350 wont go into 3rd

My buddy picked up an 81 Malibu with a 355 / TH350. After finally fixing the drive shaft that vibrated really bad, we noticed the car would not go into third. Checked the fluid level and it was good. Drove the car until the trans was warmed up, drove it when it was cold...no third. The weird thing is, it will just keep building RPMs like its in second gear, no flaring like it wants to shift BUT when I go to downshift manually (when shifter is in Drive) It will downshift twice like its coming out of third and then out of second. Any ideas?
