I want to add to Peter's excellent comment that for the time being I have no reason to suspect that your transmission is having major problems. The push button unit linkage is known to loosen up over time and cause problems of which gear you enter. So even though the unit was rebuilt by Mr. Pushbutton a number of years ago, and still should work well, it was installed by a local mechanic and may not be 100% perfect without some simple adjustments at this later date.

The other possibility is that your high range clutches are burnt up. When you drive the car around, did the engine rev up between the low to high shift? In other words, as you go faster the engine slowly increases in RPM, then when the shift happens, the RPM's will get pulled down to match with high gear. Do the RPM's "flare up" right before the high gear engagement?
