Cannot go over 2500 RPMs?!

Just got the 4Runner back from being rebuilt again after it spit out the fluid when it overheated a couple of weeks ago. I pull out and it seems fine. It revs up the first time. After that it wont let me go over 2500 RPMs. It seems like it shifts from 1st to 5th. Does this seem plausable? I don't know what to do. I'm about to flip out and it up until its not drivable and just be pissed off for a couple of years.

Yeah thats what I'm thinking. I'm about to drive it to the store and see how it goes. It's that kind of situation where you can push the pedal to the floor and nothing happens.

I'm royally pissed.

Just got back, and still doing it. No matter if I'm pumping the pedal, easing it, or flooring it it still does nothing but go to 2500 RPMs.

I called the guy Frank and am taking it back tomorrow to take him for a ride.
